In a review of this group (Nov. Zool. ix, pp. 211-212 
(1902) Hartert has established a subspecies. C. viridis viridi- 
tectus, (type from Baram, Sarawak) for the Bornean form based 
on the fact that the shoulder spot is glistening green without 
any bluish gloss, and a considerable series from SW. Sarawak 
confirms his diagnosis. He considers that Malayan birds 
should also be placed in this race but in this I cannot agree 
as the majority of our large series precisely agree in the tint 
of the shoulder spot with a specimen from Kimbo Pengadang, 
Bencoolen (Jacobson coll.) which is a topotype of C. zosterops, 
Vig.

“Tris chestnut red, bill black, feet sage green.”’ 
Gyldenstolpe (loc. cit.) suggests that C. icterocephala 
may also occur on the southern parts of Siamese Malaya. 
As a matter of fact several specimens were obtained by 
Dr. Annandale and myself at Bukit Besar in Patani, though 
Grant in his report* on the collection has accidentally omitted 
the precise locality. This species meets and intergrades with 
C. icterocephala in Perlis whence we have a pair which it is 
impossible to refer definitely to either form.

Exceedingly common in heavy jungle on Langkawi and 
Terutau, while a single specimen was obtained in April, 1915, 
on the small island of Pulau Paya, near Kuala Kedah. 
The series of males moulting into the adult plumage con- 
firms Gyldenstolpe’s observations on the closely allied race J. p. 
puella from further north (loc. cit. p. 66) that the adult livery is 
acquired by a direct change of colour 1 in the feather without
