CA. AXTHIPES SUBMOXILIGEH. 



Anthipes submoniUger (Hume) ; Stray. Feath., v, p. 105 (1877X. 



Digenea submoniliger, Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., iv, p. 4G1 

 (1879) ; id. P.Z.S. (1888), pp. 246. 7. 



This species was common at the top of Kao Nawng at over 4,000 

 feet and also occvirred, though less numei-ouslv, at our lower camp. 



Comparison of the series obtained with a large number of 

 specimens from the more southern parts of the Peninsula, representing 

 A. malayana, Sharpe, enables us to state with certainty that they 

 do not belong to this form but are to be referred to the Tenasserim 

 race, described by Hume from Mt> Muleyit. We have however 

 recently collected in West Sumatra specimens of ^. solitaria described 

 by Midler in 1835, and comparison of these with skins from the 

 actual type locality of A. malayana shows that the two races are 

 absolutely identical as was not unexpected. Sharpe' s name for the 

 Peninsular race must therefore be suppressed. 



fi5. ANTHIPES OLIVACEA. 



Cyornis olivacea, Hume : Stray Feath., v, p. 338 (1877) ; id. vi, 

 p. 229 (1878). 



Siphia olivacea, Sharpe, Cat. Bird^5 Brit. Mus., iv, p. 457 (1879). 

 Anthipes olivaceus, Gates, Faun. Brit. Ind. Birds., ii, p. 34 (1890). 



Fairly common on the lower slopes of Kao Nawng, also obtained 

 at Trang on the west side of the Peninsula in 1910. 



" Iris hazel, bill black, feet pale purj)lish flesh. 



The sexes are alike and the nestling bii'd has the ordinary mottled 

 plumage characteristic of the flycatchers, the wing coverts broadly 

 tipped with yc^llowish l)uff. 



I am by no means sure that this species is rightly placed with 

 Anthiyes by Gates ; except for the comparative feebleness of the 

 rictal bi-istles and the rather weaker bill it might well be regarded 

 as a Rhinomyias, with which genus the type of plumage better 

 accords. 



(i(i. HYPOTHYMIS A7ATREA. 



Hypothymis azurea (Bodd.) ; Sharpe, torn, cit., p. 274 ; Robinson 

 and Kloss, tom. cit., p. 53. 



Hypothymis azurea propkata, Gberholser, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 

 xxxix, p. 597 (1911). 



We only got one specimen in Bandon and it was not common 

 in Trang. 



r>7. TERPSIPHOXE AFFINIS. 



Terpsiphoiie affinis, Blyth ; Sharpe, tom. cit., p. 349 ; Robinson 

 and Kloss, tom. cit., p. 53. 



Very common throughout the country.
