In the British Museum (Natural History) tliere is a 

 specimen procured by Schomburgk in Siam. The bird has 

 also been mentioned by some of the older authors from that 

 country (vide P. Z. S.' Lond. 1859, p. 151, and Ibis, 1864, 

 p. 257), but, as it has never been obtained nor recorded by 

 any recent coUecior, its occurrence in a wild state in Siam 

 is very uncertain.
