Dendrocitta rufa saturatior, M. 2, p. 51 (Peninsular Siam and 

 Burma). 



It is possible that collectors may meet with this bird in Petch- 

 aburi. Two South-eastern forms have recently been described, D. 

 r. sakaretensis Gyldenstolpe,2 from E. Siam, and D. r. saturatior 

 Ticehurst,3 from the Kaukareik Hills, Tenasserim. 



As we have not seen any examples from Siam or south 

 Tenasserim we are unable to use a subspecific name. 



1 Mr. Williamson informs us that he has never come across this 

 bird in or near Bangkok.
