Mr. Kloss’ two specimens from S.E. Siam listed by me 
had the wing about 139. All these birds may be considered as 
belonging to the above cited northern race, which differs 
merely in size from birds from the south of the Malay Penin- 
sula which for the present may be taken as representing true 
C. vittatus (typical locality Java) the colour distinctions noted 
by Gyldenstolpe in his single specimen occurring in both forms 
indifferently. The dimensions of the southern birds in the 
F.M.S. Museums from localities ranging from Kuala Selangor 
to the extreme south of the Peninsula are wing, 127-132 ora 
mean of 128.2 for eight specimens while the wing of the 
northern form as indicated by the specimens quoted above 
ranges from I 35-142 with a mean also for eight specimens of 
138°2 mm.

It is very unusual to find barbets frequenting even the 
larger islands near the coast of the Malay Peninsula and the 
occurrence of this species at Pulau Lontar was therefore a little 
surprising. 
It seems hardly correct to rank this form from Sumatra 
and the Malay Peninsula as merely a subspecies of C. fuligz- 
nosus (Temm.) from Borneo, which differs so markedly in its 
deep brick red throat, chin and upper breast, as some authors 
havedone. Malayan birds precisely agree with specimens from 
Korinchi, West Sumatra, and it is difficult to credit Buttikofor 
(Notes Leyden Mus. ix, p. 17 (1887) who seems to consider that 
the two species are but plumage stages of one and the same 
bird. Of the very large series of C. hayt from the Malay 
Peninsula and Sumatra that have passed through my hands 
I have never seen one that could for a moment be confounded 
with C. fuliginosus, while the same is true of the series of 
C. fuliginosus before me, when compared with C. hayz. 
Immature birds have the throat and lower surface washed 
with pale sulphur yellow and the tips of the median wing 
coverts rufous buff. The bills are black in the males and 
brownish horn in the females.
