Iris (males) dark ; (females) brown, dull pink, crimson ; 

 feet plumbeous. 



Males : T. L. 275, 265 ; W. 153, 148.

 145 ^ 147*. 



This Oriole was quite common in the fairly open country of 

 eastern Siam, as I found it two years ago in the province 

 of Chantabun (wing 153 mm.). The greatest wing-length 

 I have found in a series of birds from the Malay Peninsula 

 is 149 mm., but the species is not resident there.
