There seems to be no material difference in size between 

 s|)ecimens from the western Himalaya, ranging through 

 Assam, the Shan States, and Siam to Cochin China and 

 Annam. Siamese specimens on which Gyldenstolpe founded 

 P. c. hessei are certainly, on the dimensions given by the 

 author, not smaller than birds from the Himalaya, so that 

 any distinction would have to be based on colour alone : for 

 the present we are not inclined to regard this race as even 

 sul)specifically distinct.
