NO. 2 ASIATIC BIRDS OF GENUS CRINIGER—DEIGNAN 5 
CRINIGER OCHRACEUS Moore, 1854 
Criniger ochraceus hallae, subsp. nov. 
Type.—Brit. Mus. Reg. No. 1928.6.26.834, adult male, collected at 
Tay Ninh (lat. 11°18 N., long. 106°07’ E.), Tay Ninh Province, 
Cochin-China, on January 15, 1928, by Jean Delacour and Willoughby 
P. Lowe (Franco-British Indo-China Fourth Expedition) ; original 
number 1767. 
Diagnosis.—Nearest Criniger ochraceus cambodianus, from which 
it differs by having the mantle less grayish, more strongly suffused 
with olivaceous, and the under parts much brighter, strongly suffused 
with creamy- or yellow-buff. 
Range.—Southern Annam (Haut-Donai Province) and Cochin- 
China (Bien Hoa and Tay Ninh Provinces). 
Remarks.—This isolated population (named for Mrs. B. P. Hall of 
the British Museum, Nat. Hist.) has until now been placed with the 
nominate race of Tenasserim, from which it is of course quite distinct. 
It is apparently sympatric in southern Annam with C: riniger pallidus 
khmerensis.

Criniger gutturalis cambodianus DELAcoUR AND JABourLie, Bull. Brit. Orn. 
Club, vol. 48, No. 325, July 10, 1928, p. 130 (Le Boc Kor [lat. 10°37’ N.,

Range.—Southwestern Cambodia (Chaine de VEléphant) and 
southeastern Thailand. 
Criniger ochraceus ochraceus Moore. 
Criniger ochraceus Moore, in Horsfield and Moore, Catalogue of the Birds 
in the Museum of the Hon. East-India Company, vol. 1, 1854, pp. xv Lxomen 
nudum], 252 (Tenasserim Division, Burma; type locality here restricted to 
Mergui [lat. 12°26’ N., long. 98°36’ E.], Mergui District). 
Criniger ochraceus crinitus DEIGNAN, Journ. Washington Acad. Sci., vol. 44, 
No. 4, May 3, 1954, p. 125 (Ban Hin Laem [lat. 14°40’ N., long. 98°40’ E.], 
Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand). 
Range.—Tenasserim from the Amherst District (Ye) south to the 
Mergui District (Tenasserim Town), and southwestern Thailand 
(valley of the Mae Klong and south in the forest to Prachuap Khiri 
Khan Province [Khao Luang]). 
Remarks.—Since two races of ochraceus appear in Tenasserim, 
it has been necessary to restrict Moore’s type locality. Comparison of 
the type specimen in London with others has shown that nominate 
ochraceus occurs as far south as Tenasserim Town, and one specimen 
from that place is even very like the type itself in its deep coloration.
