56. SERTLOPHUS ROTHSCHILDI. 
Serilophus rothschildi, Hartert and Butler, Bull. B.O.C., lix, p. 50 
(1898) ; iid., Ibis, 1898, p. 434. 
Five specimens were collected on Kao Nawng, adults and young. 
“Male, iris hazel, bill pale blue, tomia white, base including 
nostrils orange, periocular space, wax-yellow, feet the same, tinged 
with greenish claws bluish.” 
Compared with specimens of the true S. rothschildi from the 
mountains of Perak and Selangor these specimens show a very decided 
approach to S. lwnatus, Gould, which is found throughout the greater 
portion of Tenasserim. The head and ear-coverts are tinged with clay 
-brown not almost pure gray as in S. rothschildi, and the chestnut of 
the secondaries and tertiaries is much paler. The two forms are 
evidently only subspecies and grade completely into one another. 
PITTIDA. 
57. PITTA CYANOPTERA. 
Pitta cyanoptera (Temm.); Sclater, tom. cit., p. 420; Robmson 
and Kloss, tom. cit., p. 48. 
The commonest of the genus round Ban Kok Klap but not found 
in very deep jungle. Nestling birds and a clutch of five eggs were 
obtained, the male bird being shot off the nest, which was a globular 
mass of dead leaves and rubbish on the ground. The young birds are 
much duller above and have the scarlet of the abdomen and under tail 
coverts of the adult birds indicated by salmon pink. The base and 
tip of the bill are orange red. The eggs were hard set and are obtuse 
ovals, fairly glossy and yellowish white in colour. Thinly spotted, 
mainly towards the larger end with smalled rounded spots of purish 
brown. They measure, A. 26.1 x 20; B. 25.9 x 20.2; B. 25.8 x 20 mm. 
58. PITTA CUCULLATA, 
Pitta cucullata, Hartl.; Sclater, tom. cit., p, 442; Robinson and 
Kloss, tom. cit., p. 49. 
Two were obtained at Ban Kok Klap. 
59. EUCICHLA GURNEYI. 
Eucichla gurneyi, Hume; Sclater, tom. cit., p. 448; Robinson and 
Kloss, tom. cit., p. 49. : 
Very common indeed in the neighbourhood of Ban Kok Klap but 
not extending far up the slopes of Kao Nawng as it was not met 
with at either of our camps on that mountain. 
60, EUCICHLA BOSCHI. 
Eucichla boschi, Mill. and Schleg. ; ce tom. cit., p. 447; 
Robinson and Kloss, tom. cit., p. 49. 
Even commoner than Hw. gwrneyi and extending further up 
the hill being found at over 2,000 feet elevation.
