1920.] List of the Birds of Siam. 773 



Williamson lias recently recorded a single male specimen 

 from Klong Luang Peng, near Bangkok, central Siam. 

 The present author saw some specimens kept in captivity by 

 the Lao Prince of Chiengmai, and these were said to have 

 been caught somewhere in northern Siam.

The White- winged Wood-Duck occurs sparsely in penin- 

 sular, south-western, and central Siam. It seems to be more 

 abundant in the southern districts, where specimens have 

 been recorded from Bandon, Ban Kok Klap, Nong Kok, 

 Pateluno, Ohong, Hue Sai, and Hat Sanuk. In central 

 Siam it has hitherto only been met with at Meh Wang, 

 according to Barton. It is a shy bird, generally found singly 

 or in pairs.
