These specimens are all typical puella. In most cases the tail- 
eoverts, both upper and lower, are quite short, and in none do they 
reach to within one inch of the tip of the rectrices. 
As regards measurements, cyanea cannot be distinguished from 
puella, though the latter is-generally a good deal bigger than the 
former. On the other hand the British Museum collection contains 
two birds which are smaller than any specimen of cyanea, The wings 
of puella ran from 110 up to 133 mm. and those of cywnea from’ 111 
to 123 mm. only.

At the first glance the series obtained by Mr. Herbert in Siam 
appeared to be darker, less yellow and more reddish ochraceus than the 
series in the British Museum from Hainan, bat though there may 
possibly be a very slight difference between the two series, on an 
average there are so many individuals in each which agree exactly with 
one another that an additional sub-species seems to be neither justified 
nor necessary. 
The wings of Mr. Herbert’s 7 specimens vary in length from
