THE BIRDS OF SOUTH-WEST AND PENINSULAR SIAM. 197 



similai' extent of country in Asia. ResidiiS Sini^apore and the ex- 

 treme southern point of Joliore, we have colleoted C //. rhersonfH'ns 

 at Piliali, Kundnr, one of the Rhio archipelago, and the specinienH are 

 now in the 'riin<^ Museum : it has also been taken at h\ast twice in 

 Sumatra. It is incredibh^ that there are (as Mr. Raker states) speci- 

 mens from Johore in tlie British Museum witli wings exceeding; 

 170 mm. 'J'here were no specimens at all from Johore in the Museum 

 when th(^ (Jataloo^ue was compiled in 1S92, nor when one of us 

 searched the collection in 1920, and we cannot Init think that .some 

 mistake has been made in reading the labels.
