These are the only records I can give about the occiirrence of this bird in Siam. 



27. Micropus melanocephalus Gm. — The only time I met with the Black- 

 headed Bulbiil was in the forests east of Muang Pré, but even there it was rare and 

 I only got one male specimen in full plumage. The bird was shot on the 28th of 

 February and measures as follows.

28. Sitta cinnamoventris Blyth. — The Cinnamon-bellied Nuthatch was the 

 single member of the family Sittidse which I shot during my journey. Bnt this 

 species was, however, very abundant, especially in the dry forests and the more 

 open country. I never observed or shot it in the evergreen forests either in the 

 northern or in the eastern belt. The specimens in the collection are chiefly from Den 

 Chai and Pak Pan but some are also from Non Luum, a village on the Korat 

 plateau.
