with russet (E. Java; Bali). P. m. otterlanderi Robinson 
B. Superciliary stripe present in front of the eye ;

ceous (Malay Peninsula and Sumatra)

Chloropsis hardwickii malayana subsp. nov. 
Like C. h. hardwickti Jardine and Selby, of Nepal, but 
smaller ; wings 84-89 mm. (12 adults) whereas Indian and 
Burmese birds measure 93-99 mm. in length of wing. 
Type. Adult male from Gunong Ijau, Perak, Malay 
States, 4,500 ft., collected on 29th July, 1909. Wing 88 mm. 
Specimens examined from the type locality south to Gunong 
Mengkuang Lebar, Selangor. 
From North Siam Gyldenstolpe records a_ possibly 
immature male with a wing of 88 mm., probably of this 
race. 
The species is recorded by Oustalet from Tonkin, 
North Laos and North Annam (Nouv: Arch. du Mus. (4) 
V, 1903, p. 71) : specimens from these areas require critical 
examination. 
Brachypodius atriceps major subsp. nov. 
Like B. a. atriceps (Temminck), type locality here 
designated as Java, but larger. Wings more than 80 mm. 
Type locality, North Cachar, Assam, where (fide Baker, 
Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. VIII, 1893, p. 4) wing length 
varies between 82-85 mm. 
Known range, British India north of the Isthmus of 
Kra, and probably Siam. Both forms occur at the Pakchan 
whence we have a series with wings from 78 to 86 mm. ; 
but three examples from Koh Lak, S. W. Siam, have wings 
of 79 mm. and it is therefore probable that the true range 
of B. a. major does not extend southwards much beyond 
Tavoy.
