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. Pall. — The Daurian Mynah. 



The Daurian Mynah is apparently very rare in Siarn and during my journey I 

 only came across two specimens which were observed in a garden belonging to the Siarn 

 Electricity Company at Klong Toi just outside Bangkok. Besides these records it has 

 only been met with in Siarn by Williamson. 



22. Graculipica nigricollis. Payk. — The Black-necked Mynah. 



Acridothcres nigricollis: Gould p. 151. 

 Sturnopastor nigricollis: Schomburgk p. 253. 

 Gracupica nigricollis: Finsch & Conrad p. 352. 



Graculipica nigricollis: Flower p. 323; Williamson I p. 43; Gairdner p. 33; Gyldenstolpe I p. 35; Gylden- 

 stolpe II; Gyldenstolpe III p. 168; Williamson II p. 204; Gairdner p. 149; Robinson III p. 757.

 ligbt brown. 



The Black-necked Mynah is very common on suitable localities över 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 påle brown to 

 plumbeous. 



23. Aethiopsar grandis. Moore. - The Siamese Mynah. 



Aethiopsar grandis: Gyldenstolpe I p. 36; Gyldenstolpe II; Gyldenstolpe III p. 168; Williamson I p. 43; 

 Williamson II p. 205; Gairdner p. 149; Barton p. 106; Robinson III p. 106.

 u '/n 1914. L = 243 mm.; W = 131,5 mm.; T = 83 mm.; C = 21 mm. — Irides: reddish brown. Bill:

A very common species about towns, villages and cultivated land in every part 

 of Siarn Proper and the Siamese Malaya.
