Accipiter nisus snbsp. ? 



Williamson has nnently obtained two snbadult females of 

 a Sparrow-Hawk in tlie vicinity of Bangkok. According to 

 the statement of Mr. H. C. Robinson of the Federated Malay 

 States Museums, tliey are rather pale for the Himalayan form 

 (^Astur nisus melanoscldstus Hume), and he considers them 

 as probably migrant specimens of ^iome Chinese race, as, for 

 instance, A star 7iisus insosimilis Tick. (Journ. Asiat. Soc. 

 Bengal, ii. 1833, p. 571). 



Astur trivirgatus rufitinctus McClell. 



Spizaehis ruptindns McClelland, P. Z. S. Lond. 1839, 

 p. 153 : Assam. 



The larger race of the Crested Groshawk is rather rare in 

 Siam, though it seems to occur throughout the whole country, 

 as specimens have been collected in northern as well as in 

 peninsular Siam. 



Astur badius poliopsis Hume. 



Micronisus poliopsis Hume, Stray Feathers, ii. 1874, 

 p. 325 : N. Pegu. 



The Burmese Shikra is quite common throughout Siam. 

 though it seems to avoid the evergreen forests. 



Haliastur Indus Indus Bodd. 



Falco Indus Boddaert, Tabl. PI. Enl. p. 25, 1783 : Pondi- 

 clierry. 



The nortliern typical form of the Brahminy Kite is quite 

 common in suitable localities throughout central and northern 

 Siam. Its southern limits of range are, however, not 

 properly ascertained. 



Haliastur Indus intermedius Gurney. 



Haliastur intermedins Gurney, Ibis, 1865, p. 28 : Java. 



Probably an inlialatant of peninsular Siam, where it 

 appears to be not uncommon. Northwards it extends at 

 least as far as Koh Lak, where it has been collected. 



Butastur liven ter Temm. 



Fidco liventer Temminck, Planches Col. Nr. 438, 1827 :
