THE BIRDS OF SOUTH-WEST AND PENINSULAR SIAM. 271 



In 1915 (Ibis, p. 746), dealing with a series from S. E. Siam, 

 Robinson pointed out that Heifer's name would have to replace Rich- 

 mond's sordidus, as being the older, and that the southern (not the 

 northern) bird required a name which was applied (sacctdatus). 



In 1917 (Jouru. Fed. Malay States Mus. vii, p. 173) a 

 specimen from Langkawi was referred to G. rj. ochraceus, it being 

 placed as a subspecies of gufturalis on the strength of recently 

 received topotypes of that form from Borneo. 



Iq October 1919 (Ibis, p. 570) we recorded Criniger ochra- 

 ceus from Cochin China and Criniger tei:)hrogenys henrici Oust., 

 Bull. Mus. Paris, 1896, p. 183) from the low country of South 

 Annam. Criniger pallida grandis Baker (Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, 

 xxxviii, 1917, p. 15) from Yunnan ( no exact locality specified) is 

 probably the same as the Yunnan birds included by Oustalet 

 in his type series of C henrici (type locality Tonkin): it would 

 appear to differ from the typical henrici only in rather larger size. 

 Oustalet's wing lengths were 100-115 mm.. Baker's are 11-1-119, 

 and we found the wings of South Annam birds to be 100-108 mm, 



Gyldenstolpe (L., p. 67) records both C. sordidus (wings 103- 

 111) and C henrici (wings 107-113) from North Siam, and intrinsi- 

 cally there is no reason why he should not be perfectly correct. 



Without labouring the point, it is obvious that even if S. W. 

 and Peninsular Siam bulbuls of this type are subspecifically identical 

 with Hainan birds, which is to the last degree improbable, it will be 

 the Hainan birds that will have to be named (7. gutturalis ochraceus 

 or C. gularis tephrogenys, and not the Siam birds C. jxdlida 

 pallida.
