yet that erratic bird obscurus has only been obtained from Peninsular 
Siam, where Messrs. Williamson and Aagaard have procured specimens 
at Bang Nara, Patani. It will be interesting to know how far North 
it occurs. 
72. TEPHRODORNIS PELVICUS (? subspec. nov.) 
Tentheca pelvrica, Hodg. Ind. Rey. i. p. 447 (1837), 
$ Hup Bon, S.,E. Siam, 25. 7. 15. 
This is a very dark grey specimen, differing from all other 
specimens | have seen of 1. p. pelvicus in having the back decidedly 
darker, more grey and Jess rufous ; it also differs in having the whole of 
the threat, breast and flanks ashy grey, faintly tinged with vinous. 
Kloss* is, | understand, shortly describing the Malay form under 
a new name, but as regards the British Museum series, there seem to 
be only the following races, (1) one Indian, (2) doubtfully Burmese and 
Malayan birds, which may be slightly darker, and (3) Chinese birds 
which are, of course, much richer and redder, and which may well be 
found in N. E. and extreme East Siam. I cannot distinguish between 
Chinese and Hainan birds. 
More material is required before the Siam bird can be given a 
definite position, and for the time being I Jeave it unnamed.
