392 MESSRS. ROBINSON AND KLOSS ON 



The most northerly specimen recorded. 



The scarlet pectoral patch on the above specimen is more ex- 

 tensive than on two others from Trang and others from the Malay- 

 States, some of which may be assumed to be topotypical ; and the 

 underparts are of a rather deeper yellow, in these respects approach- 

 ing the Javanese race. The species is, however, everywhere some- 

 what rare and our series is not large. 



565. Prionochilus maculatus maculatus (Temm.). 



Pardalotus maculattcs, Temm., PI. Col. 1836, pi. 600, fig. 3 (Borneo). 

 Birds from Kedah and Perils belong to the typical race, so we 

 may expect those from Patani to do so also.

This form, which we have from as far south as Trang, differs 

 from the Malayan race in having the ear-coverts greyer, the white 

 throat-stripe narrower and the yellow of the underparts considerably 

 brighter.
