On comparing this large series from Sumatra with 
examples of C. ¢. parvirostris, from the Malay Peninsula, in- 
cluding specimens from the typical locality, Gunong Tahan, 
we can detect no differences whatever in colouration. As 
stated by Stresemann, however, the wing of the continental 
form is smaller, not exceeding 56 mm., while that of the 
Sumatran specimens is usually 58-59 in adult males. C. t. par- 
virostvis must therefore be regarded as confined to the Malay 
Peninsula.

“Tris hazel or dark, bill slate or black, grey beneath, 
yellowish at gape. feet olive brown or greenish slate.” 
Obtained among bamboos in the vicinity of cultivation. 
Excluding the anomalous A. sakavorum, Stresemann (Bull. 
B. O. C. xxxi, p. 27 (1912)), from the mountains of the Malay 
Peninsula, whose real position is doubtful, there are three 
races of this species, all very closely allied. 
A. superciliaris superciliaris (Tickell.), Eastern Himalayas 
to Tenasserim. 
A.superciltaris schwanert (Blyth), Malay Peninsula, through- 
out Borneo and Sumatra (?). 
A. superciliavis vordermant (Buttik.), Java. 
The two former differ only in the colour of the lores, 
which is described as brownish in the Himalayan race, whilst 
it is ashy grey in that from the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. 
The three Sumatran specimens appear to be slightly darker 
green above and two of them entirely lack the yellow tips to 
the feathers of the rump and upper tail coverts, present 
in Bornean and Malayan specimens. The yellow is, however, 
slightly indicated in a third skin, so for the present we prefer 
Expedition to Korinchi ;
