194 MESSRS ROBINSON AND KLOSS ON 



.lunk Seylon, oif'tlie wt'st c<jast oi" Peuinsular .Siaiii. With tlie excep- 

 tion ot" the specimen obtaiued by tlie Skeat Expedition on Gunong 

 fnas in North Penik, wliich is the most northerly record, all known 

 specimens of this woodpecker in Europe or elsewhere have beeri sent 

 home by the F. M. 8. Museums. We have never obtained Ch. f. 

 wnijji in Saktiuja, ov within 300 miles of it. and the citation is 

 (jbviously a misprint for Sdangor, in the mountains of which State 

 the bird is fairly common. 



Without wishing too frequently to belabour the matter of 

 Mr. Baker's geographical inexactitudes (Ibis, 1919, p. 198), they 

 being rather his misfortune than his fault, since owing to special 

 circumstances he had to de})end on labels written by a nati\e collec- 

 tor, it must be noted, in the interests of correctness, that Chan Tuek 

 (Chanteuk) and Pakchan oi- Pakjan (Pak Jong or Pak Chong) are not 

 in the same part of Siam as Koh Lak, whence the type of 0. f. lylel 

 was procured : the latter is in S. W. Siam, not far south-east of 

 Mergui : both the former are in tlie range of hills between Saraburi 

 and Korat, which separate the basins of the Menam and Mekong. 

 Birds from this district are undoubtedly ^yierrel, as had been pre- 

 \iously stated by one of us, the range of which in Southern Siam is 

 probably bounded westward by the Menam : those from S. W. Siam 

 are, just as undoubtedly, not that bird.
