Tue BurMEsSE Wurve-crRested LAUGHING-THRUSH. 
Garrulaa belangert Less., Traité VOrn., p. 648 (1831); Blanf. & 
Oates, 1, p. 79. 
Vernacular names. Wa-youn-hiet, Way-owng-hnet-goung byw 
(Burmese). 
Description. Differs from the preceding in having the white of 
the breast running into the abdomen instead of being sharply 
defined by the rufous colour. The colour of the upper parts is a 
light ferruginous- rather than an olive-brown. 
Colours of soft parts as in lewcolophus. 
Measurements. A rather smaller bird than the last, with a wing 
of about 125 to 130 mm. 
Distribution. Yunnan, North and South Shan States, Annam, 
Lower Chin and Kachin Hills, Pegu and Tenasserim. 
Nidification. Similar to that of the last bird, twelve eggs 
averaging 28°3 x 22-7 mm. 
Habits differ in no way from those of the last or the next bird, 
+ (130) @arrulax leucolophus diardi. 
THe StamMEsE WHITE-cRESTED LAUGHING-THRUSH. 
Turdus diardi Less., Traité d’Orn., p. 408 (1831) (Siam). 
Garrulax diardt. Blanf. & Oates, i, p. 79. 
Vernacular names. None recorded. 
Description. Differs from the other two races by the grey of 
the erest merging into the rufous back instead of contrasting 
therewith. The whole of the abdomen is white. 
Colours of soft parts as in the other races. 
Measurements. The largest of the three races with a wing 
between 135 and 140 mm. 
Distribution. Extreme South Yunnan, Siam, Cambodia, Annan, 
Cochin China, rarely extending into South-East Tenasserim, and 
then in a somewhat intermediate form approaching belangert. 
The specimens in the British Museum from the Shan States and 
Annam labelled ‘ diardi” should all be referred to the last race, 
belangest. 
Nidification. Similar to that of the other races. Twelve eggs 
average 27°4 x 22-4 mm., but a larger series would probably 
average bigger. 
Habits. Like those of the other races but this form appears to 
be found well into the plains.
