The birds of central and south Burma and of south Siam 
seem to be intermediate in size between those of Java—T. l. lineatus 
—and those of northern India—TZ. l. hodgsoni---and as they cover a 
far longer range than either of these two extreme races, they should 
bear a name as a geographical race. 
The typical birds from Java and Bali are very small, thirteen 
birds having an average wing measurement of about 117 mm. These 
are found only in the two Islands named. 
Birds from the northern area are very large, averaging 
nearly 131 mm. in wing length. These are found over the whole of 
Northern India, Chin and Kachin Hills, Shan States and Siam 
though exactly where the Siamese birds meet the next race cannot 
be determined on the material available. This northern race bears 
Hodgson’s name, and it is possible that yet another race in N. W. 
India should be separated, as it is again much larger with a wing 
of over 137 mim. 
T. 1. rntermedius, as its name denotes, is half-way between 
the two extremes, and 71 birds have an average length of wing of 
124 mm,

Kloss has recently named some Barbets obtained by Neumann 
in south China under the name quoted above on the grounds of 
difference in size, but this reason does not seem to be sufficient. 
There are no Chinese birds in the British Museum, but there 
are 8 of Neumann's in Tring, and thes» differ from other birds in 
having no ved patch on the side of the throat, « character which will 
suffice to maintain Kloss’ name. 
The size of the Chinese birds, as stated by Kloss, is, “wing 
measurements 112 to 118 mm.” Count Gyldenstolpe has a fine 
series of 13 birds, and these measured on the curved wing are between
