6 . Namchut, Pakchan, P. Siam, 14 February 1919 (No. 4016). 



" Iris pale blue ; bill and feet black ". 



Total length 183; wing 86; tail 80; tarsus 16; bill from 

 gape 20 mm. 



The northern race with A\ings of 80-85 mm. is, so far, 

 represented in Siam by the above example. It is possible that the 

 Pakchan is somewhat beyond the proper range of this subspecies, as 

 birds occur there with wings of 80 mm. and less, and the wino-s of 

 three birds from Koh Lak measure 79 mm. There is no doubt an 

 intermediate zone where, as Avell as intergrading, the two forms seem 

 to inosculate : probably the true range of B. a. major stops at about 

 Tavoy.
