A COLLECTION OF B'RD-SKINS FROM SIAM. 435 
The Siamese birds vary between 87 and 91 mm. 
188. SAUROPATIS CHLORIS CHLORIS. 
Alcedo chloris, Bodd. Tabl. Pl. Enl. p. 49, Lath. Syn. B. i, p. 620 
(1783). 
Type locality, ‘““Bouru, one of the Molucca Islands.” 
3 3 Bangkok, 4.6.15. and 6-7.3.16. 
$ Meklong, C. Siam, 20.6.15. 
Robinson (ibis 1911, p. 34) has already pointed out that 
Sauropatis humei and Sawropatis armstrong: ave one and the same 
bird, and he adds that he doubts whether they are not identical with 
S. chloris. With Robinson’s conclusions I am in complete accord, 
and after a most careful consideration of the mass of material in the 
British Museum—about 200 specimens—have no doubt that all three 
so-called races must be lumped together. 
189. KAMPHALCYON CAPENSIS BURMANICA. 
Pelargopsis Lurmanica, Sharpe, P. Z. 8. 1870 p. 67 (Tounghoo). 
2 3 o Krabin, C. Siam, 29.10 and 4-10.11.15. 
Sharpe’s division of this Kingfisher into different species has 
led t> the most curious confusion. He admitted two and even three 
subspecies from the same locality, and the consequent mixture of dif- 
ferent species under the same name, and splitting up of other species 
under various names, has rendered the magnificent series in the 
British Museum very difficult to work. The result of my recent ex- 
amination has been given in Novitates Zoologice, 1919, and therein it 
is shewn that the Siamese birds are all of this race, which is widely 
extended over the whole of Burma, Siam and Cochin China. 
The wings of Mr. Herbert’s birds vary from 143 to 154 mm., 
and the bills from 67 to 72 mm.
