a. 3. Pulau Butang, Butang Archipelago, 21st 



April, 1911. 



b. 3. S.W. Koh Pennan, Bandon Bight, S.W. 



Siam. 30th May, 1913. 



These specimens agree with the descriptions of this 

 subspecies in that they are considerably larger than the typical 

 form (wing 72 mm.), are lighter and more yellowish beneath 

 and possibly more greenish above, though specimens in differing 

 states of plumage vary so much that it is difficult to determine 

 this point. 



The Koh Pennan specimen has a large first primary 

 extending about 3 mm. beyond the primary coverts but that 

 from P. Butang can be matched in this by others from Kedah 

 Peak and the south of the Peninsula. Another bird from 

 P. Butang shot on 20th April 1911, has the wing 60 mm. 

 Specimens from S.W. Sarawak shot in November are rather 

 bright but have the wing 66 mm. and are not this form, which, 

 like so many migrant birds, appears only to reach N. Borneo.
