A COLLECTION OF BIRD-SKINS FROM SIAM. 417 
139. PRIONOCHILUS MACULATUS. 
Pardalotus maculatus, Temm. Pl. Col. iii, pl. 600, f. 3 (1836). 
¢ et ¢ juv. Klong Wang Hip, P. Siam, 8-9.10.15. 
The adult male has a very white throat, and is somewhat 
less yellow on the under parts than usual, whilst the upper parts 
appear to be exceptionally dark. 
140. PITTA CHRULEA CHRULEA. 
Mytothera caerulea, Raft]. Trans. Linn. Soc. xiii, p. 301 (1822). 
3. ¢ Maprit, P. Siam, 5-9.1.16. 
These three birds from Siam agree well with those from the type 
locality, Sumatra. They are all males, so that at present one cannot 
say whether the females are different. 
The female of the Bornean bird is quite different to that of 
the Sumatran and to those obtained in the Malay Peninsula. The 
colour of the head is a much richer, brighter brown, and the black 
consists of tiny black edges instead of black bars to the feathers. 
This form I have recently (Bull. B. O. C. 1918, No. eexxxvii 
p. 20) named Pitta cwrulea hose: after Dr. Charles Hose, by whom 
the specimens were collected. 
141. PITra CYANEA. 
Pitta cyanea, Blyth, J. A. S. B. xii, p. 1008 (1843). 
¢ Klong Song, near Petriu, C. Siam, 25.2.16. 
I cannot see any difference in this species throughout its 
range from Assam to Malaya. 
142. PITTA CYANOPTERA. 
Pitta cyanoptera, Temm. Pl. Col. pl. 218 (1823). 
2 ¢ 9 Hup Bon, S. E. Siam; 22.7,15. 
These specimens call for no remark. 
143. PITTA CUCULLATA. 
Pitta cucullata, Uartl. Rev. Zool. 1843, p. 65. 
2 6 2 Hup Bon, 8. E. Siam, 18-27.7.15.
