86 NILS GYLDENSTOLPE, ZOOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE SWEDISH ZOOLOGICAL EXPEDITIONS TO SIAM. 



Of this species which is rather common in the Southern Malay Peninsula, only a 

 single specimen was obtained in a thick evergreen forest near a small creek called Hat 

 Sanuk quite close to the Tenasserim boundary on about Lat. N. 11° 50'. 



At this same place I observed a few more specimens, which were very difficult to 

 detect among the dense foliage as they kept rather high up in the gigantic trees. 



In any other part of Siarn the Green Broadbill was never met with. 



Outside Siarn and the Malay Peninsula it inhabits Southern Tenasserim, Sumatra 

 and Borneo.

<£ juv. Meh Nja Min 27 / 7 1914. L = 135 mm.; W = 78 mm.; T =- 33 ram.; C =- 10 mm. — Irides: 

 blackish grey. Bill: horny brown with yellow edges. Legs: greenish yellow. 



The Long-tailed Broadbill is sparsely distributed över the damp evergreen hill- 

 forests of Northern Siarn. During my journey I only obtained a young male which was 

 caught by one of my coolies on the road between Muang Fång and Chieng Hai. 



It has quite a different plumage from that of the adult bird and as I can find no 

 description of such a young bird, I herewith give a short description of it. 



Forehead, occiput, nape and whole upper plumage green; ear-coverts green but 

 darker than the crown; a few feathers on the lores, a large spöt över the ear-coverts, 

 feathers below the eye and at^ the angle of the bill bright yellow; wing-coverts, tertiaries 

 and secondaries green (the latter of a brighter colour) primary coverts black edged with 

 greenish blue on the outer webs; primaries blackish edged with greenish blue on the 

 outer web; a large patch of glistening cobalt blue on the outer webs of the inner primaries; 

 chin and throat yellowish green; breast, abdomen and under tail-coverts påle green; 

 tail-feathers bluish green above, blackish beneath. 



162. Eurylsemus javanicus. Horsf. — Horsfield's Broadbill.

$ Koon Tan 24 /"> 1914. L = 210 mm.; W = 106 mm.; T = 71 mm.; B = 36 mm.; Tarsus — 21 mm. 

 - £ Koon Tan 2, /s 1914. L = 205 mm.; W = 105 mm.; T = 68 mm.; B = 36 mm.; Tarsus = 21 mm. — 

 Irides: black. Bill: as iu the Fauna of British India. Legs: brown. 



Seems to be fairly rare in Siarn and only two specimens were shot out of a small 

 party by my Siamese collector. 



The tail-coverts in my specimens are not bright yellow as recorded in the literature 

 but påle yellow with a rosy tingc, and the spöts at the bases of the primaries are pure 

 white instead of yellow. The tail-feathers, except the central ones, ha ve a subterminal 

 whitish spöt. 



HorsfiekTs Broadbill has also been obtained by Mr. Eisenhofer's collector at Koon 

 Tan and Pa Hing, both places in Northern Siarn, and by Robinson in the Bandon 

 Province of North Eastern Malay Peninsula and these are the only records I know about 

 from Siarn.
