These specimens, and others from Siam, are precisely 

 intermediate in size between the large form T. I. hodgsoni 

 (Bp.) type from Nepal and the typical T. I. liaeatus from 

 Java. For these the name Meyalaima mcclellandi, Moore 

 (Cat. Birds E. I. Co. Mus. ii. 1856-8, p. 637), from north- 

 eastern Bengal, or more probably Assam, is available if 

 desired.

These s[)ecimens agree well with three specimens of the 

 original typical series, with which we have compared them. 



Count Nils Gvldenstolpe obtained one young specimen of 

 this species in northern Siam at Koon Tan (K. Svenska 

 Vet.-Akad. Handl. Bd. Ivi. No. 2, 1916, p. 100) ; as it was 

 so young as to be almost uniformly green, we are at a loss 

 to understand how the author was able to identify it sub- 

 specifically at all. Furthermore, he is in error in stating 

 that the above subspecies was founded on a single specimen 

 from Koh Mehsi, as a verification of the original reference 

 would have shown.
