1920,] List of the Birds of Siam, 479 



Family Liotrichid.e. 



Mesia argentauris Hodgs. 



Mesia argentauris Hodgson, Ind. Rev. 1838, p. 88 : Nepal. 

 The Silver-eared Mesia has only been recorded from Kao 

 Nawng in the province of Bandon, peninsular Siam. 



Pteruthius aeralatus aeralatus Tick. 



Pteruthius ceralatus Tickell, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 

 xxiv. 1855, p. 2G7 : Tenasserim. 



Rather rare in Siam, where it, however, has been recorded 

 from Kao Nawng, Koon Tan, Doi Nga Chang, and Muang 

 AVang. 



Family SiBiiD.E, 



Herpornis xantholeuca tyrannulus Swinh. 



Herpornis tyrannulus Swinhoe, Ibis, 1870, p. 347 : Central 

 Hainan. 



The specimens collected in northern and eastern Siam 

 seem to be nearest to the Hainan form. Birds from penin- 

 sular Siam south of the latitude of Koh Lak most certainly 

 belong to the Malayan form recently separated by Hartevt 

 under the name of Herpornis xantholeuca interposita.

Mijiophoneus temminckii Vigors, P. Z. S. Lond. 1831,

Myiophoneus caeruleus Scop. 



Gracula ccerulea Scopoli, Del. Florae et Faunae Insubr. ii.
