26 NILS GYLDENSTOLPE, ZOOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE SWEDISH ZOOLOGICAL EXPEDITIONS TO SIAM. 
178 mm.; W = 97 mm.; T = 60 mm.; C ~17 mm. — Irides: bluish white. Bill: bluish grey. Legs: 
plumbeous. 
The Chinese Mynah is fairly common during the cold season. It generally occurs 
in large flocks keeping to the cultivated land at the surroundings of towns or villages. 
Among the specimens obtained there are both immature and fully adult birds. 
The immature birds differ from the old ones in having the wingcoverts black; only the 
median series in some specimens being white. The creamy buff colour of the rump and 
upper tail-coverts does not extend as far down in the young birds as in the old ones and is 
washed with isabelline. 
21. Agropsar sturninus. Patt. — The Daurian Mynah. 
The Daurian Mynah is apparently very rare in Siam and during my journey I 
only came across two specimens which were observed in a garden belonging to the Siam 
Electricity Company at Klong Toi just outside Bangkok. Besides these records it has 
only been met with in Siam by WILLIAMSON. 
22. Graculipica nigricollis. Payx. — The Black-necked Mynah.

The Black-necked Mynah is very common on suitable localities over the whole 
country. It was, however, never met with in evergreen forests nor very far from culti- 
vated land. Their notes which they generally utter when resting on the top of a tree is 
rather sweet and melodious. The colour of the legs seems to vary from pale brown to 
plumbeous. 
23. Aethiopsar grandis. Moorz. — The Siamese Mynah. 
Aethiopsar grandis: Gyldenstolpe I p. 36; Gyldenstolpe II; Gyldenstolpe III p. 168; Williamson I p. 48;

A very common species about towns, villages and cultivated land in every part 
of Siam Proper and the Siamese Malaya.
