We place the above references with the Sumatran form as 



their subjects probably agree with birds of the Malay States, which 



are similar. Possibly birds of S. W. Siam belong to the South 



Chinese races P. on. coinmixtus Swinhoe, which Hartert states ranges 



thence to Tenasserim (Nov. Zool. 12, 1915, p. 400).
