Pallas’s Reed Warbler is only a winter visitor to Siam and not very abundant. 
During the whole journey only three specimens were observed and they were all found 
in scrub jungles at the neighbourhood of water.

The Indian Tailor Bird was frequently met with on suitable localities over the 
whole of Siam and it extends down the Malay Peninsula too. Here it was not uncommon 
at least as far south as to Koh Lak in Lat. N. 12°. 
Further south another allied form occurs, Sutoria maculicollis Moors, and this 
species is separated from typical S. sutoria Forst. by its white ear-coverts. This 
species may also probably be found in the southern parts of the Siamese Malaya. 
In Northern Siam the Indian Tailor Birds inhabited the bamboo jungles and the 
grassy plains. 
At the neighbourhood of Doi Par Sakeng a nest containing two fresh eggs was 
found on the 22nd of July 1914. The eggs were of a bluish green colour, boldly marked 
with spots of brownish red these spots being most numerous at the thickest end. They

Two specimens of this race were obtained on a grassy plain at the neighbourhood 
of Koon Tan. 
The habits of this Grass Warbler are quite the same as those of the next species.
