The only records from Peninsular Siarn are, 2 immature males 

 o])taine(l by Robinson at Biserat, Jalor, in July 1901, and an unsexed 

 bird from Patelung obtained by the Skeat expedition in April 1S99 ; 

 the latter was not improbably a ca<(e bird. Mr. Williamson's collect- 

 ion also contains a male and an immature female from Bangnara, 

 Patani State, shot on 29th July, 1916. We have also secured it 

 at Pelarit, Perlis, in October 1911 within five or six miles of the 

 Siamese boundary, so the species is probably (juite common in the 

 extreme south of Peninsular Siam ; except for these records it has 

 not been obtained north of Province Wellesley.
