Though the species must certainly occur at times on the 

 Siamese side of the international boundary through the Langkawi 

 group, spocimens have njt actually been obtained from that locality. 

 The only record therefore from our area is the above specimen from 

 Cliumpoii. The species also occurs on the Koh-Si-Chang group in 

 the Inner Gulf of Siam. It is likewise found in Cocliin-China.

The forms of the large Cuckoo Dove inhabiting Java, 

 Sumatra and the southern Malay Peninsula, Hainan and the Indo- 

 Chinese countries stand in very close subspecific relation and will, as 

 the oldest name, have all to be called M. leptogrammica. 



Though it is very likely that a bird of this species will be 

 found inhabiting the higher hills, no specimen has been actually 

 obtained, though there is a note by Gairdner of a bird, " probably 

 tusalia", having been seen somewhere in Ratburi or Petchaburi. 

 Macropygia ruficeps, subsp. 



Columha rujiceps, Temm., PI. Col., 1835, pi. 561 (Java). 

 Macropngia assiviilis, Hume, Stray Feath. ii, 1874, p. 441 (Hills 

 ot" Tenasserim). 



Of this Cuckoo Dove, also, with the exception of one specimen 

 from the extreme north of Siam, which is not germane to the 

 present paper, there arc no specimens whatever on record from Siam. 

 The species, however, is certain to occur in suitable localities 

 throughout the country. 



Those from Patani, etc., will be almost certain to agree with
