A COLLECTION OF BIRD-SKINS FROM SIAM. 29 



Mr. W. L. Sclater, who is working through the Raptores in 

 the British Museum, has very kindly gone with me through the 

 birds of that order represented in this collection. Of Haliastur 

 indus, he only admits three races, -Indus, which is found throughout 

 India to Malaya and Siam, intermedins from the Islands, and 

 gerrenera from further East.

 Milvus govinda, Sykes, P. Z, S,, p. 81 (1832).

 of the white patch under the wing, and the wing itself only 

 measures 436 mm.

The Sparrow - Hawks from Tenasserim southwards and Siam 

 eastwards run a trifle smaller than the mora northern specimens of' 

 affinis, but can hardly be considered a distinct race. They are

 Hopwood, of the Burmese Forest Department, has taken several 

 nests, eggs and young.
