The Great Iora was only observed once near the Tenasserim boundary a few miles 

 west from Koh Lak. 



Here I met with rather a large party of this fine bird and five specimens were shot 

 out of the flock before the rest took to the rescue and disappeared into the dense jungle. 



They were feeding in some high trees in an evergreen jungle when being observed 

 and they were rather tame. 



The allied Aethorhynchus xanthotis, which I found in Eastern and Northern Siarn 

 during my former Expedition 1911 — 1912, was never met with, why it seems to be verv 

 rare and local. Mr. Eisenhofbr's native collector had, however, succeeded in obtaining 

 a female specimen among the Koon Tan Hills, but though I assidonslv looked ont for 

 t ha t bird I never came across it again.

The Orange-bellied Chloropsis. 

 T = 72 mm.: C = 18 mm.: Tarsus = 15,5 



Apparently very rare and only confined to the higher mountains of Northern Siarn. 



The specimen obtained most probably is an immature male and it has the central 

 tail-feathers green; the primaries, except the first and second ones, are green on the outer 

 webs; the throat and chest are deep black with a faint gloss; the head is faintlv washed 

 with yellow. All these characteristics are only signs of immaturity. 



113. Chloropsis aurifrons. Temm. — The Gold-fronted Chloropsis. 

 Chloropsis aurifrons: Gyldenstolpe I p. 23; Gyldenstolpe 11: Gyldenstolpe 111 p. 166.
