Specimens in Brit. Mus. from : — 



Cheeks and sides of 



the throat washed 



with rust - colour : 



I underparts less clearly 



I suffused with tawny 



I buff. 



f Cheeks and sides 

 of the throat with 

 scarcely a trace of 

 rust-colour (as in Bor- 

 Hume Coll. ■{ nean examples); under- 

 parts mostly whitish, 

 partially suffused and 

 edged with pale huff 

 and reddish brown. 



Cheeks and sides 

 of the throat mostly 

 white, with only a 

 slight trace of rust- 

 colour ; imderparts 

 I rather more richly suf- 

 l fused with tawny buff. 



By some ornithologists the Tenasserim birds may be con- 

 sidered worthy of specific distinction, but the differences 

 between them and the Bornean specimens are so slight that 

 I prefer to include them under the heading of T. exsul. 



With regard to the specimen from Klang, I think it 

 quite possible that it may represent a distinct species, but 

 without more material I cannot give a decided opinion. 

 Mr. E. W. Gates was evidently also at one time inclined to 

 consider the Klang specimen distinct, for it bears a MS. 

 name in his handwriting, which, however, he never published.
