These birds appear to be intermediate in size between the 

 form from the Malay Peninsula and that from Hainan — 

 /v. inac7'urus minor (Swinh.). One specimen has the 

 primaries edged with rufous ashy as in that form, but 

 the tail is not developed to its full length and the bird is 

 probably immature. All the specimens have relatively 

 much less white in the four outer pairs of tail-feathers and 

 the tail decidedly shorter than in the Malay Peninsula form. 

 Possibly the Annam birds are identical with the true A. m. 

 macrurus, of which the type-locality is the adjacent island 

 of Pulau Condorj in which case the Malayan bird will require 

 a new uame.
