55. JIIXORNIS GULARIS, > RUBRICAPILLUS. 



antea, p. 106. 



Five specimens from Koh Samui and Koh Pennan agree witli 

 those from the Bandon mainland in not being typical M. giilaris but 

 intermediate between that form and M. ruhrirapilla . Two of these 

 specimens are however nearer to the latter race having the streaks 

 on the tliroat confined to the shafts of the feathers, the crown rusty 

 ferruginous, not chestnut, the outer aspect of the wings olivaceous 

 and the yellow supercilium very distinct, (c.f. Hume, Stray. Feath. 

 vi, p. 266, 267 (1878). As in so many other cases we are at the 

 meeting place of two local races and the individual characters have 

 become very plastic. 



The two specimens above noted have the soft parts recorded as 

 follows : " Male, iris light hazel, bill lead, yellowish at edges, tarsi 

 and feet greenish lead, j^ellowish on soles. Female, iris wax yellow, 

 bill dark horn above, yellowisli green below, the tomia and edges 

 yellow, skin at gape, wax yellow, feet greenish yellow, more yellow 

 on soles."
