This is the only definite record of an adult bird from the 

 Malay Peninsula or from Peninsular Siam, but it is difficult to ac- 

 cumulate satisfactory material as the immense majority of birds 

 visiting us on passage are quite immature and are referable to A. 

 gularis. The present bird, when adult, is a close mimic of 

 Lo2jJiOS2nzias trivirgatus rufiiinctus, from which it can be distin- 

 guished by the slender toes and the absence of the crest. 

 Accipiter nisus, subsp. 



Accipiter nisus, subsp., "Williamson, Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, iii, 

 1918, p. 22 (Bangkok). 



A subspecies of the European Sparrow Hawk occurs in Siam 

 and probably just reaches our area, and there is one specimen, with- 

 out precise location, in the F. M. S. Museums. The size of William- 

 son's specimens is rather large ( wing 242, 252 ) and, according to 

 Hartert ( Vog. Palaarkt. Faun, ii, 1914, p. 1155), they would be 

 referable to A. nisus nisosimilis Tickell (Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 

 ii, 1833, p. 571, Borabhum ).
