SOME RECENTLY DESCRIBED SIAMESE BIRDS. 57 



based on an individual from a place so near the latter town as is 

 Amherst. 



It does not seen probable to me that intermedia (nigreseens) 

 is a subspecies of leucopliaea but rather allied to longicaudata of 

 the Indian Peninsula, or else a distinct species. I imagine at least 

 two species : — a paler Malaysian bird running from Java up through 

 Indo-China, and a darker Indian one, typified by longicaudata, 

 extending through Indo-China down into the Malay Peninsula.
