 24th May, 1910. 

 "Iris hazel, bill and feet slaty Mack, gape yellow." 



These specimens have the wing 113-124 nun. in the males, 

 and 112-118 in the two measurable females and have no chest- 

 nut whatever in the plumage. The bird from P. Telibun is of 

 a somewhat lighter blue and has traces ol the black and white 

 terminal tips to the feathers being the remains of the immature 

 pelage. The series must apparently be referred to Sykes' 

 subspecies originally described from the Western Ghats, 

 India.

 This specimen has the remains of the immature pelage 

 strongly in evidence; the undertail coverts are however mainly 

 chestnut as. are also a few of the under wing coverts and 

 feathers of the belly. The wing is 118. The chestnut is very 

 much less developed than in a specimen from Lem Ngop, S.E. 

 Siam, collected by Mr. Kloss on January 15th 1915, but it is, 

 I think best, placed with this form, though it must be admitted 

 that the identification of two birds, shot within a few yards of 

 each other on the same day (see above) as different subspecies 

 is not very convincing, even on the assumption that the entirely 

 blue bird is a winter visitor from the N\V. while the chestnut 

 form comes from the XE. The north of the Malay Peninsula is 

 however indubitably the meeting place of easterly and westerly 

 migration streams.

 " Iris hazel, upper mandible black, lower Mesh at 

 base, feet pale, whitish flesh." 



As has already been noted by Gyldenstolpe and myself 

 this species is nut improbably resident throughout the year in 

 the north of the Peninsula, specimens having been obtained as 

 late as May 15th. In the south of the Peninsula it certainly 

 only occurs during the winter months.
