resident form E. 0. orientalis, are sufficiently obvious in these 

 specimens. Before, however, one can feel fully confident 

 that the subspecies have any real existence, it should be 

 (ieinonstrated that no specimens answering' to E. 0. orien- 

 talis are ever found north of the Yangtze.

 form on two specimens as being smaller with a wing of 

 176-178 mm. 



A male from Bangkok measures 188 and another from 

 Lat Bua Kao 184, so it appears that no case has as yet been 

 made out for separating this highly migratory bird into 

 races.
