in the rest the breast-band varies from ehcstnut-ljlack to 

 blackish chestnut. Swaiin seems correct in stating that B. I.

 mese birds with iuniuiture Tiulian ones.

 No. 131. Read: — Cerchneis tiniunculus siibsp. 

 It is probable that all the specimens mentioned are ex- 

 amples of Cerchneis f Innunculus dorriesi, the Siberian 

 Kes*;rel, which Svvann states has a much longer tail than in 

 other forms (cT 172-194; 9 178-200 mni.). 



Other races to be considered in connection with 8. W. and 

 Peninsular Siam, having regard to the distribution given by 

 Swann (Syn. Accip. ed. 2, p. 21()), are C. L interst InetuH 

 McClell. (of which saturatus Blyth is a synonym), the 

 Assamese. Kestrel, visiting the Malay Peninsula in winter ; 

 and perhaps C. f. japonicus (Temm. and Schleg.), the Japanese 

 Kestrel, known in winter from Hainan, the Philippines and 

 Borneo.

 Perihlti aplvorus orieiitalis, Tacz., the Siberian form of the 

 Crestless Honey Buz/ard, may occur, as it travels south as far 

 as the Sunda Islands in winter. 



The common bird in the Malay Peninsula Is undoubtedly 

 P. pt. ptdorlnj nclms ; but it may be visited in winter by the 

 North Indian race, P. pt. riLjicollls, and the Siberian form, 

 P. a. or'ie)btidis.
