Specimens vaguely labelled "Malacca" or of Malacca 

 " make " may have come from almost anywhere especially since 

 until recent years bird skins were a large export from the 

 territory and the collection thereof a trade which afforded 

 occupation to considerable numbers of hunters who travelled 

 far in pursuit of it. 



The specimens collected by Mr. Kloss on the coasts and 

 islands of S.E. Siam, Ibis 1915, p. 752 were certainly all G. 

 innotata, in that they lacked the wing spots, but his series was 

 small. Possibly Blvth's original locality was incorrect and the 

 real locality of his types was Siam or Indo-China. I am inclined 

 to think that the species is, at anyrate partially, migrator)-, 

 which would account for its sporadic appearance in the more 

 southern parts of the Malay Peninsula and for its greater 

 abundance in the north of the Peninsula during the winter 

 months.
