Pallas's Reed Warbler is only a winter visitor to Siarn 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 över the 

 whole of Siarn 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 Moore, and this 

 species is separated from typical 8. sutoria Först, by its white ear-coverts. This 

 species may also probably be found in the southern parts of the Siamese Malaya. 



In Northern Siarn 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 spöts of brownish red these spöts 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.
