XIX. THREE NEW ORIENTAL BIRDS. 



By H. C. Robinson and C. Boden Kloss. 



Otus luciae siamensis, siibsp. nov. 



Heteroscops vulpes, Robinson, Journ. Fed. Malay- 

 States Mus. V, 1914, p. 91 (Bandon) ; Gyldenstolpe, Ibis, 

 1920, p. 752. 



Otus liiciae, Robinson & Kloss, Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. 

 Siam, v., 1922, p. 111. 



A very rufous form of Otus luciae (Sharpe). The 

 black markings on the crown, nape and tail much reduced 

 and the spots on the back obsolete : wings and tail strongly 

 washed with rufous, the outer webs of the wing feathers 

 scarcely blackened, the pale wing bars much obscured. 

 The undersurface paler and the spots and vermiculations 

 obsolete. Differs similarly, but to a less degree, from 

 O. vulpes. Grant, from Gunong Tahan, 5,000 feet, Pahang. 

 We are not prepared to accept imlpes as different from 

 the Kinabalu bird. 



Type. Adult female from Kao Nong, Bandon, 3,500 

 feet. Peninsular Siam: collected on 23rd June, 1913. 



A male from Kao Luong, 5,000 feet, in the same 

 mountain range, differs only in having the black markings 

 on the head a little more pronounced and in being a 

 trifle darker beneath. 



Compared with one example of O. luciae from N. 

 Sarawak and seven from the Malay States (O. vulpes. 

 Grant). 



Cyornis anak, sp. nov. 



Size as in Cyornis magnirostris, Blyth, but the bill 

 markedly smaller: males with the breast a deeper rufous 

 and the blackish-blue of the sides of the neck extending 

 to restrict the rufous area of the throat to a small A 

 shaped area falling considerably short of the mandible: 

 upper parts deeper blue. 



Females like those of magnirostris but the under- 

 parts paler; the abdomen more extensively white owing 

 to lesser infuscation of the flanks, undertail-coverts 

 white, the pale area of the throat restricted as in the 

 males; the upper parts rather browner, less olivaceous. 



Type. Adult male from Krongmun, Trang, Penin- 

 sular Siam: collected on 16th February, 1910. Specimens 

 examined : the typ.e, a male from Kao Luong, 2,000 feet, 

 Nakawn Sri Tamarat, a female from Nongkok, Ghirbi 

 and a female (? vixad.) from Chong, Trang; collected on 

 23rd March, 1922, 12th January, 1918 and 16th February, 

 1910, . ^
