Gecinulus viridis robinsoni, Kloss, Ibis, 1918, p. 105 (Ginting Bidei, 



Selangor-Piihaiig boundary, 2000 ft.) ; L., p. 101 (Ghirbi). 

 Gecinulus viridis, Hume, Htv'Aj Fedthevi^, ix, 1880, p. 112 (Kasoom). 



The occurrence of this race in the Kingdom of Siam rests on 

 the specimen from Ghirbi above quoted, and on another from 

 Kasoom in the British Museum. Our bird is, of course, somewhat 

 intermediate between the southern race and the typical form from 

 North Tenasserim.

 the inner webs of the primaries smaller.
