197. Penthoceryx sonnerati. LatH. — The Banded Bay Cuckoo. 
Penthoceryx sonnerati: Gyldenstolpe I p. 58; Williamson I p. 46; Robinson & Kloss p. 40; Miller p. 404. 
© Pa Hing /s 1914. L = 240 mm.; W = 119 mm; T = 126 mm.; C = 22 mm.; Tarsus = 15 
mm. — Irides: yellowish brown. Bill: black. Legs: greenish grey. 
A single female specimen of the Banded Bay Cuckoo was obtained on the top of a 
low hill near Pa Hing in Northern Siam. 
It belongs to the typical race and not to the smaller form which inhabits the Malay 
Peninsula and Islands. This southern form has been given the name of P. s. pravatus 
Horsr. and may eventually be found in the Siamese Malaya. 
198. Eudynamis orientalis malayana. Cas. & Herne. — The Indian Koél.

@ Bang Hue Pong */5 1914. LL = 400 mm.; W = 199 mm.; T = 202 mm.; C = 30 mm.; Tarsus = 
30 mm. — @ Koon Tan 4/5 1914. L = 408 mm.; W = 202 mm.; T = 206 mm.; C = 28 mm.; Tarsus = 
30 mm. — Irides: red. Bill: greenish yellow. Legs: blackish grey. 
Though the Koél is rather common and generally distributed over the whole of 
Siam, I only succeeded in obtaining two females, the one shot at Koon Tan and the other 
one at Bang Hue Pong, both places in Northern Siam and situated not far from each 
other. 
It is with some hesitation that I have referred the Koél’s from Siam to the sub- 
species malayana. In the literature there is a great confusion about this species, which 
highly needs a revision based on a large material. 
CoLtincwoop Ineram described as lately as 1912 (Novitates Zoologice Vol. 20 
p. 279) the race inhabiting Hainan as £. o. harterti, which is separated from the Indian 
bird, £. 0. honoratus LINN., on account of its having a conspicuously larger bill and larger 
wings. 
In the collections of the Royal Natural History Museum in Stockholm there are 
unfortunately no specimens from the Indian Continent, but according to some measure- 
ments recorded in the literature the Siamese specimens seem to be larger than the Indian 
race, thus more approaching £. o. harterti or E. 0. malayana Cas. & HEINE to which 
latter subspecies I have referred them in the present paper.
