Observed and obtained together with Collocalia francica germaini Oust. in the Siam- 

 ese Malay a. Horo it was rather common though difficult to obtain as the birds always 

 were flying at a considerable height. In the North of Siarn I never mot with it though 

 it may occur. Outside Siamese Territory it bas been recorded from Tenasserim,

Fairly common and generally distributed among the hill -träets of Northern Siarn. 

 They are as a rule assembled in small flocks of about 8 to 10 individuals and were now 

 and then seen perching on dead trees. When flying they utter a note remembering of 

 that of a Paroquet though it is never very loud. I never saw tliem keep their long 

 crests erect when perching, as has been stated by other observers.
