132. Pomatorhinus tickelli brevirostris, subsp. nov. 



1 Fomatorhinus tickelli Kuroda, Annot. Zool. Japon. ix. 

 1917, p. 233: Tonkin. 



Compared with a specimen from Muleyit, the type of 

 " P. hypoleucus var." Blyth (Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal 

 xxiv. 1855), and a topotype of tlie species which shoukl be 

 credited to it, these specimens agree in all essential respects 

 except that the bill is about 5 mm. shorter and less de- 

 curved. The difference is, in view of the locality, sufficient 

 to merit a name. 



This form agrees in its short blackish bill with Pomato- 

 rhinus tickelli hainanus Rothschild, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, 

 xiv. 1903, p. 9, but this island form is smaller in other 

 dimensions than typical P. tickelli', whereas the Cocliin 

 China and Tenasserim birds agree in all dimensions except 

 those of the bill.
