These birds are paler and decidedly larger than the 

 Sumatran form T. c. curvirostra (Gm.), which, as Stuart 

 Baker correctly points out, is found in Borneo, Sumatra, 

 and the southern extremity of the Malay Peninsula. Birds 

 from the Langkawi and Terutau Islands and Trang, southern 

 peninsular Siam, are intermediate, having the wing about 

 137 mm. The fulvous tint on the breast is very marked 

 on three out of the live males listed, but not more so than 

 in specimens in the F. M. S. Museums from Terutau I. 

 and from Mapor I. in the Rhio Archipelago, south-east of 

 Singapore.
