THE BIRDS OF SOUTH-WEST AND PENINSULAR SIAM. 335 



The three examples cited here and a Bandon specimen are 

 somewhat intermediate, but nearer frontalis ; they have a decided 

 wood-brown tinge on the undersurface, differentiating them from 

 Javanese and Annam birds : a few southern Peninsular birds are also 

 of this colour beneath, but of a much deeper, more cinnamomeus, 

 shade tinged with lilac. 



483. Dendrophila frontalis saturatior (Hartert). 



Sitta frontalis saturatior, Hartert, Nov. Zool. ix, 1902, p. 573 (Gu- 



nong Tahan, Pahang-Kelantan Boundary). 

 Dendrophila scduratior, E., p. 76 (Patani) ; F., p. 70 (Trang). 

 Sitta frontalis frontalis, M. 2, p. 132, pi. iii (partim : Malay Penin- 

 sula south of 9° N.). 

 This race extends northwards from the Malay States at least 

 as far as Trang and Nakorn Sritamarat, P. Siam, whence we have 

 several examples.
