» “virgatus” has also been recorded from the West Sumatran Islands of 
Simalur, Lasia, Siumat, and Nias, but as in all these localities the migratory 
gularis no doubt occurs the identifications are not certain. 
3 A. nisoides is more likely to apply to a migratory form than to a 
resident race which, in the Malay Peninsula, would probably only be obtained 
in the mountains of the interior, Swann’s remarks in Mon, Bds. Prey, igab, 
p. 327 concerning A. affinis in the Malay Peninsula and Borneo seem to refer 
to A. v. gularis : South-west Siam appears to be the southern limit of affinis . 
Wintering adults taken in the Malay Peninsula are very variable in colour. 
Most males are inseparable from Japanese birds, but paler individuals may 
be referable to A. v. sterstnsont Gurney,
