In conclusion I also want to express publicly my deepfelt gratitude to the 

 Siarn ese Consul-General in Stockholm Mr. Axel A: son Johnson and Mr. K. A. 

 Wallenberg, who both with greatest generosity defrayed all the costs for the 

 Expedition. 



I am also very much Indebted to the Siamese Government for several facilities 

 and letters of introduction which were of a great value diiring my travels in the 

 interiör of the country. 



When working out the bird-collection I have had the pleasure of consulting 

 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie Grant of the British Museum, who with utmost deliberty as- 

 sisted me in the determination of some difficult species. I also beg to express my 

 very best thanks to Professor Doctor E. Lönnberg for his great interest and assist- 

 ance both before the Expedition was undertaken and during the whole journey. 



To all these persons as welJ as to several other both in Sweden and in Siam I 

 herewith beg to express my deepest gratitude for all they have done for the suc- 

 cessful carrying out of my journey in the beautiful country of »the White Ele- 

 phants». 



Faiii. Corvidiie. 



1. Corvus macrorhynchus Wagl. — The Jungle Crow was very abundant both 

 in the jnngles and in the open or cultivated country. Like other members to the 

 family tliis species was very shy and rather härd to approach. 



One male in the collection lias the following measures : Length = 500 mm. 

 Wing = 226 mm. Tail = 209 mm. Cnlmen = 63 mm. Iris = brownish black. 



2. Corvus insolens Hume. — Very common in Bangkok and its neighbour- 

 hood, but I failed to observe it in Northern Siam, though it possibly occurs round 

 the towns and villages together with the Jungle Crow. In the real jungles, however, 

 it is always replaced by Corvus macrorhyiichus Wagl.
