Tickell's spotted babbler was very common on Kao Nawng 

 keeping to bushes and low trees in parties of two or three. It has 

 also been obtained in the West Coast State of Traug by 

 Dr. W. L. Abbott but has not yet been met with further south in

A single female from Ban Kok Klap. 



It is, I think, obvious as Gates (loc. cit.) has pointed out that this

Mixornis gularis (Raffles) ; Sharpe, tom. cit., p. 576 ; Robinson and 

 Xloss, tom. cit., p. 62. 



Four specimens from Kao NaM'Ug and others from Trang, 

 Terutau and Perils are not typical M. gularis but are intermediate 

 between that species and M. ruhricapilla. They resemble the latter 

 in having the mantle and external aspect of the j^rimaries more olive 

 and less chestnut and the former in the broadness of the black streaks 

 on the throat and upper breast.

Five specimens from about 3,000 feet on Kao Nawng are in such 

 faded and abraded plumage that their identification is a matter of some
