This is the only definite record of an adult bird from the 

 Malay Peninsula or from Peninsular Siam, but it is difficult to ac- 

 cumulate satisfactory material as the immense majority of birds 

 visitinor us on passage are quite immature and are referable to A. 

 cfularis. The present bird, when 'adult, is a close mimic of 

 Lopliospizias trivirgatus rufitinctus, from which it can be distin- 

 guished by the slender toes and the absence of the crest. 

 Accipiter nisus, subsp.

A subspecies of the European Sparrow Hawk occurs in Siam 

 and probably just reaches our area, and there is one specimen, with- 

 out precise location, in the F. M. S. Museums. The size of William- 

 son's specimens is rather large ( wing 242, 252 ) and, according to 

 Hartert (Vog. Palaarkt. Faun, ii, 1914, p. 1155), they would be 

 re^nvnWe to A. nisus nUonhn ills Tickell (.Journ, Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 

 ii, 1833, p. 571, Borabhum ).
