From their larger dimensions this series would appear to 

 belong to the Malayan form, E. s. malayana, but discrimination 

 between this and the closely allied small Indian form, E. s. scolopacea 

 (Linn.), is difficult and uncertain. Hartert gives the wing-length of 

 the latter as 187-197 mm. (Nov. Zool. x, 1903, p. 236), and no 

 Siamese birds we have seen are so small.
