THE BIRDS OF SOUTH-WEST AMD PENINSULAR SIAIVI. 269 



Crinkjer tephrogenys, Hartert, Nov. Zoo!., ix, 1902, p 558 (Malay 

 Peninsula to Tenasserim) ; E., p. 86 (1 atani) ; F., p. 57 (Trang). 



The difference between this species and the next was not 

 generally recognised before Hartert ( I. e. s. ) cleared up the confus- 

 ion between the two and showed their characters and distinctness. 

 Unfortunately more recent authors, ignorant of Hartert's work, 

 have continued to perpetrate the errors of their predecessors. Both 

 birds, according to Hartert, are common in Tenasserim ; and Tristram 

 (Cat. Coll. Birds, 1889, p. 177) records both obtained on the same 

 day by Davison at Bankasoon, S. Tenasserim, under the names 

 C gutturalis and G. ochraceus.

*Without examining the actual specimens recorded by Miiller 

 under these names, it is not possible to allocate them with any confidence. 

 No doubt Miiller obtained examples of the two species of criniger recorded 

 in this paper : we ourselves only met with C. ochraceus in the neighbourhood 

 of Junk Seylon.
