A COLLECTION OF BIRD-SKINS FROM SIAM. 441 
Siam birds agree with typical chlorophea from Sumatra. I 
am not able to distinguish between specimens from Sumatra, Malay 
Peninsula and Tenasserim. The Bornean birds are distinguishable 
by the females having the under parts much more rufous. The 
males hardly differ from those from Sumatra, though they are 
possibly more richly and brightly coloured on the whole.

This magnificent Cuckoo has hitherto been known only by 
the single specimen, in the Paris Museum, which was very kindly 
lent to me for comparison with the above birds. 
Oustalet’s single bird was: obtained in Annam, so that Siam 
forms a great extension of its habitat. Both specimens are in heavy 
moult, but have perfect wings and tails, though the latter are not in 
full moult. 
The measurements are as follows:— 
Wings, 284 and 272 mm,; tails, 330 and 325 mm.; bill from 
base of forehead to tip, 49 and 48 mm.; tarsi, 98 and 93 mm.; the 
male is the bigger bird, and the tails are in full moult. 
Bill deep coral red, paler at base and on gonys; legs deep coral 
red, toes and soles paler. 
Forehead grey; whole head, neck, upper back and breast 
black ; back, scapulars and lesser wing coverts grey, palest next 
the black neck and finely vermiculated with dark grey; quills 
black with a purple sheen; innermost secondaries green-grey, 
gradually changing to the grey of the coverts; rump strongly tinged 
with green, upper tail coverts deep green-blue, tail purple-blue ; 
lower parts creamy white, finely vermiculated with bars of grey on 
flanks and thigh coverts.
