Burmese form must be known as incognita of Hume (Str. Feath.), being 
different to the Siam bird, having a brown head and other minor 
differences.

Both birds are in very poor condition, and a series of good speci- 
mens, more especially from Eastern Siam, is a desideratum.

All Mr. Herbert’s specimens of this Myna are of the same deep 
black colour as Swainson’s types, which he recorded—undoubtedly in 
error—as having been received from Sumatra. This is quite a different 
bird to the much paler, browner form found in Manipur and Northern 
Burma, which approaches Ae. fuscus fuscus in colour, though it is so 
much bigger than that bird. This bird I have recently described under 
the name of Aethiopsar fuscus infuscatus ( Bull. B. O. C. No. cexxxiii, 
1918. p. 70).

Both specimens are in very worn abraded plumage, but they 
seem to be a very pale brown, and more skins of this very common bird 
should be obtained and sent home for comparison.

This bird is, of course, only a winter visitor to the lowlands, 
and it is not at present known to breed anywhere in the Siamese hills, 
but almost certainly does so in the higher Kachin hills.
