black. Legs: black. 
Among the Flower-peckers collected in the hill-forests near Koon Tan in Northern 
Siam there is a fine male specimen of this beautiful species, which has hitherto not been 
recorded from any part of Siam, though it has been procured a few times in Burma and 
Tenasserim always in high altitudes. 
My specimen was shot in a clumps of a parasitical plant in a mixed pine and 
deciduous forest at about 1400 m. elevation. 
In the description of this species in the »Catalogue of the Birds in the British Mu- 
seum» Vol. 10 p. 42 the thighs are said to be ochraceous buff but in my specimen the thighs 
are dusky black with some of the feathers greyish white. The chin and the upper throat 
are decidedly more buffy than the breast or the under tail-coverts; on the middle of the 
rump there is a small tuft of olivaceous green feathers of the same colour as the lower flanks. 
51. Diceeum chrysorrheum. Tzemm. — The Yellow-vented Flower-pecker. 
Diceum chrysorrheum: Miller p. 374; Robinson & Kloss p. 78; Gyldenstolpe II; Gyldenstolpe III p. 171; 
Robinson III p. 756. 
o Koh Lak "8/11 1914. L = 95 mm.; W = 59,6 mm.; T = 30,5 mm.; C = 10 mm. 
The Yellow-vented Flower-pecker seems to be fairly rare though generally distrib- 
uted over the whole country and has been obtained by me both in the Northern parts 
of Siam and in the Siamese Malaya. 
Outside Siamese Territory it has been found in Nepal, Sikkim, Assam, Manipur, 
Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java and Borneo.
