1 ad. Koon Tan 1914. Wing = 99 mm.; Tail = 68 mm.: Culmen = 17 mm.; Tarsus = 20,5 mm. 
Seems to be fairly rare and was only observed in the mountains round Koon Tan 
in Northern Siam. 
I have with some hesitation referred the single specimen I obtained to the above- 
named race, which inhabits Burma and Tenasserim, on account of its having the bastard 
wing and wing-lining dirty white; the first primary, however, is brown and the primary 
coverts are black, edged with metallic green; the lower rump and the upper tail-coverts 
are not »slightly more ashy than the back» as stated in the Catalogue of the Birds in the 
British Museum Vol. 13 p. 49 but ruddy brown. The tighs are also not ashy but pale 
vinous and of the same colour as the under-parts of the body; under tail-coverts pale 
cinnamon and only a few of the shorter ones are chestnut of about the same colour as 
the tips of the outer tail feathers.

All the specimens of the Pied Mynah which I collected at Koh Lak in the Siamese 
Malaya are to be referred to the species described by SHARPE under the name of S, 
flowerv. 
This species is a near ally to S. superciliaris BLytTH which also occurs in Siam, 
particularly in the Northern parts while S. floweri seems to be confined to the Central 
and Southern Districts. 
The Siamese Pied Mynah (8S. flowert SuHarpex) differs from S. superciliaris BLYTH 
by having the upper parts of the body deep black with a glossy greenish tinge while these 
same parts in the last-mentioned form are brownish black.
