 " Iris hazel, bill black, in the female the lower 

 mandible light horn, feet slate or Payne's grey." 



In a review of this group (Nov. Zool. ix, pp. 211-212 

 (1902) Hartert has established a subspecies. C. viridis viridi- 

 tcctus, (type from Baram, Sarawak) for the Bornean form based 

 on the fact that the shoulder spot is glistening green without 

 any bluish gloss, and a considerable series from SW. Sarawak 

 confirms his diagnosis. He considers that Malayan birds 

 should also be placed in this race but in this I cannot agree 

 as the majority of our large series precisely agree in the tint 

 of the shoulder spot with a specimen from Rimbo Pengadang, 

 Bencoolen (Jacobson coll.) which is a topotvpe of C. zosterops, 

 Vig.

a. 1. Pasir Raja, Pulau Lontar, S.W. Siam. 12th 

 January, 1917. [No. 3903.] 

 " Iris chestnut red, bill black, feet sage green." 

 Gyldenstolpe (loc. cit.) suggests that C. icterocepJvala 

 may also occur on the southern parts of Siamese Malaya. 

 As a matter of fact several specimens were obtained by 

 Dr. Annandale and myself at Bukit Besar in Patani, though 

 Grant in his report* on the collection has accidentally emitted 

 the precise locality. This species meets and intergrades with 

 C. icterocephala in Perlis whence we have a pair which it is 

 impossible to refer definitely to either form.

 "Iris carmine, bill and feet black." 

 Exceedingly common in heavy jungle on Langkawi and 

 Terutau, while a single specimen was obtained in April. 1915, 

 on the small island of Pulau Paya, near Kuala Kedah. 



The series of males moulting into the adult plumage con- 

 firms Gyldenstolpe's observations on the closely allied race /. p. 

 puella from further north (loc. cit. p. f>6) that the adult livery is 

 acquired by a direct change of colour in the feather without
