Measurement: Wing ¢ 78*, 79, 2 77, 72: bill from 
gape 6 19*, 18 ¢ 17, 16.5 mm. 
Compared with two males and two females of 
C. magnirostris and a large series of C. caerulifrons 
Baker—a much smaller bird. We cannot refer these 
examples to any known form and are very reluctantly 
impelled to give them a new name. 
Kittacincla malabarica interposita, subsp. nov. 
Kittacincla macrurus macrurus, Robinson & Kloss, 
Ibis, 1919, p. 596. 
Differs from K. m. malabarica (Scop.) of India 
and Burma (type locality Malabar) by its darker 
female and from K. m. tricolor (Vieill.) of the southern 
half of the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and West Java 
(type locality) in having the feathers of the thighs in 
both sexes white, hardly tinged with rusty. From this new 
race K. malabarica macrourus (Gm.) of Pulau Condore, 
off Cochin-China, differs in being paler on the breast in 
males and having less black on the outer tail-feathers. 
Range. From South Annam and Cochin-China to 
Tenasserim and down the Malay Peninsula to about 
Trang as far as ascertained. 
Type. Adult male from Daban, South Annam: 
collected on 14th March, 1918, by Boden Kloss. Wing 
94 mm. 
Many specimens examined from the range indicated.
