98 MESSRS. ROBINSON AND KLOSS ON 



Wc ha,ve specimens of this kite from Taiping, procured in 

 August and October, and from Kuala Lumpur, in November, 

 where it is a winter migrant : though not recorded from Southern 

 Tenasserim, or from Peninsular Siam, it will ahnost certainly be 

 found there. 



Mr. W. J. F. Williamson informs us that this bird breeds near 

 Bangkok, and' is not a mere winter visitor, as surmised by 

 Gyldenstolpe.
