These specimens have the wing 113-124 mm. in the males, 
and 112-118 in the two measurable females and have no chest- 
nut whatever in the plumage. The bird from P. Telibun is of 
a somewhat lighter blue and has traces of the black and white 
terminal tips to the feathers being the remains of the immature 
pelage. The series must apparently be referred to Sykes’ 
subspecies originally described from the Western Ghats, 
India.

This specimen has the remains of the immature pelage 
strongly in evidence; the undertail coverts are however mainly 
chestnut as are also a few of the under wing coverts and 
feathers of the belly. The wing is 118. The chestnut is very 
much less developed than in a specimen from Lem Ngop, S.E. 
Siam, collected by Mr. Kloss on January 15th 1915, but it is, 
I think best, placed with this form, though it must be admitted 
that the identification of two birds, shot within a few yards of 
each other on the same day (see above) as different subspecies 
is not very convincing, even on the assumption that the entirely 
blue bird is a winter visitor from the NW. while the chestnut 
form comes fromthe NE. The north of the Malay Peninsula is 
however indubitably the meeting place of easterly and westerly 
migration streams. —

“Tris hazel, upper mandible black, lower flesh at 
base, feet pale, whitish flesh.” 
As has already been noted by Gyldenstolpe and myself 
this species is not improbably resident throughout the year in 
the north of the Peninsula, specimens having been obtained as 
late as May 15th. In the south of the Peninsula it certainly 
only occurs during the winter months.
