in that institution, mounted and exhibited in a case. I have 

 handled these specimens. Certain it is that the bird is now very rare 

 in Siam, and has not been procured by any recent collector. Pran, 

 the- place where the two specimens in the Bangkok Museum were 

 procured, is only 19 km. south of Nong Kae, on the same line, 

 where I collected for a week in December 1917 without seeing a sign 

 of this bird. 



The Siamese name for the Burmese Jungle-Crow (Corvus 



coronoides andamanensis)* is Ka \^) , while they know the Bur- 

 mese House -Crow as Kae (nfl) - both words being, of course, 

 onomatopoeic, as are so many Siamese names of birds. Nong Kae 



(wUOJtin^ the place mentioned above, means "The swamp of the 

 Kaes ", so the bird must have been found there once.

* In adopting Beavan's name I follow Stuart Baker in his " Hand-List 

 of the Birds of India" — Journ. Bo. Nat. Hist. Soc, xxvii No. 2 (1920), 

 p. 230. It is to be noted, however, that Gyldenstolpe (Ibis, 1920, p. 448), 

 has accepted' the name given by Stresemann (C. c. hainanus) as applying to 

 the Siamese form. In its wide sense the bird is, of course, C macrorhyn- 

 chus auct.
