-/- CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO 

 PRELIMINARY LIST OF BANGKOK BIRDS. 



By W. J. F. WIIJJAMSON. 



Since the publication of the Preliminary List*, I have obtained 

 a number of new species, and have also had the opportunity of sub- 

 mitting to Mr. H. C. Robinson, Director of Museums, Federated 

 Malay States, for identification, specimens of all the birds in my 

 collection with the exception of the Vultures mentioned on p. 47 of 

 the List. As a result a tew errors have been discovered, which are 

 set forth below, together with the names of the new species. Of these 

 latter, birds which do not appear to have been previously recorded 

 from Siam are given in heavy type— thus : — Cisticola volitans. The 

 figures in brackets are those of the Fauna of British India, quoted in 

 the Preliminary List.
