In view of these specimens and Grant's remarks on two 

 birds obtained by Whitehead in Hainan, we think that 

 Hume's C. innominatus, originally described from Mergui, 

 may fairly be revived for tbe Indo-Chinese form of this 

 Goatsucker. It will be distinguished from C. indicus indicus 

 from the Indian Peninsula and Ceylon by its somewhat 

 larger size, and from C. indicus jotaka of Japan and China 

 by darker colouring and smaller size. Not impossibly it is 

 .a resident form, as is C. i. indicus ; while C. i. jotaka, which 

 is found in tbe Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Java^ and Sumatra 

 in the winter, is certainly migratory. 



44. Pyrotrogon erythrocephalus annamensis, subsp. nov. 



Adult male. Separable from the typical P. e. erythroce- 

 phalus (seven specimens from the Malay Peninsula compared) 

 by having the back, rump, and upper tail-coverts more 

 ochraceous brown, not rich rufous chestnut ; wing-coverts 

 much coarser and bolder in their vermiculations, almost 

 ap|)roaching regular barring. From P. e. yumakensis Rickett 

 it is separated by the colour of the head and breast and the 

 normal length of the white tips to the tail-feathers, and from 

 P. e. flagrans of Sumatra by its larger size. Total length 

 325 ; W. 146 ; T. 175 ; bill from gape 28 mm.
