1 c?, 1 ? . Tachin, Central Siam. Oct. 1916. 



2 c? , 2 ? . Koh Lak. 



Iris dark ; bill and feet black. 



Males : T. L. — , 183, 197; W. 78, 72, 78. 



Females : T. L. 188, 185, 180 ; W. 76, 74, 77. 



This Flycatcher was very common in the above localities, 

 but does not seem to have been obtained in Siam north or 

 east of Bangkok. It is stated by Oustalet to breed in 

 Cochin-Cliina. I have compared my birds with four topo- 

 types from Java (wings 74—77 mm.) and can detect no 

 differences.

Iris brown ; bill and feet black. 



T. L. 303 ; T. 125 ; W. 170 ; Ta. 26 ; B. f. g. 35. 



Lores and frontal plumes black ; a dark ring round the 

 eye ; ear-coverts only slightly darker than the grey of 

 the head ; primaries and primary-coverts black, edged with 

 grey. (Also obtained by me in south-eastern Siam, though 

 omitted from the account of my previous collection : ' Ibis,^ 

 1915, pp. 718-761.) 



Graucalus macei has been divided into three races — the 

 typical form which came from Bengal; G. m. nipalensis 

 Hodgs. from Nepal (Ind. Rev. 1837, p. 227); and G. m. 

 layardi Blyth, from Ceylon and southern India (' Ibis,' 1866, 

 p. 368). 



Hume went into the matter of these races at some length 

 (' Stray Feathers/ ii. p. 204), and found that throughout the 

 Himalayas *, at Dacca, and in Tipperah, occurred birds 

 with wings of about 180 mm. and larger f ; in Ceylon
