 p. 344 (Tm]nj.'hoo); A., pp. 412, 414 (Tavoy, Nwalabo); G., p.

Osmotreron pomjxidora phaijrei, Stuart Bakei', Indian Pigeon.'; and 

 Dove.s, 1913, p. 27. 



Mr. Gairdner's record i.s tlie only one for our portion of Siam. 



The bird however extend.s to Cochin-China. On . the Tenasserim 



coast it ranges soutli as far as Tavoy. 



22. Treron fulvicollis fulvicoUis (Wagl). 



Columba fulricollis, Waglev, Syst. Av. Cohimba, sp. 8 (1827, Java). 

 Osmotreron fuh-icollis, A., p. 413 (Pakchan); Stuart Baker, Indian 

 Pigeons and Doves, 1913, p. 46, pi. 2. 



This species has not hitherto been obtained in Siam, though it 

 is abundant in the Pakchan estuary from December to March. 



It should be noted that the type description is founded on 

 Columha aromatiea var., Temm. & Knip, fig. 1, p. 30, pi. 6 (1808-11), 

 said to be from Batavia. The species however does not occur in 

 Java, so far as is known, and it will be convenient to regard the fernt 

 typica as fixed on Sumatra. 



The mainland representative, if it is ever recognised as 

 di,stinct, will be known as T. f. tenuirostre (Eyton, 1845, type local- 

 ity Malacca). The north Bornean, or possibly the montane form 

 in Borneo, is T. f. haramensis (Meyer, 1891), from Baram river, 

 N. Sarawak. 



The lowland and south Bornean form, if it is distinct, has no 

 name, as Columha cinnamomea Temm., 1835, applied to birds from 

 Pontianak, is antedated by Columha cinnamomea Swains, (^fide 

 Salvadori, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xxi, 1893, p. 53). 



It should further be observed that Celebes and the Phillip- 

 pines, quoted in the distribution by certain authors, are not definitely 

 known to be inhabited by this species.
