J The largest specimen we have is a female with a wing- length of 
106 mm. from Trang, Peninsular Siam, If there is a large northern race 
it will stand, as C. x. limborgi Tweeddale, Proc. Zool. Soc, i8?7» P. 366 : 
Tenasseritn. 
3 This is a poor race and we have now seen one or two specimens like 
topotvpcs from elsewhere. For the present it can stand on average 
characters : it seems likely that the name will eventually have to be used to 
cover a non-Javan Malaysian race. Good series of topotypical xanthorhyu- 
chus seem not to exist. 
* This is an extremely rare bird in the Malay States and furthermore 
only a seasonal visitor: Mr, Stuart Baker’s remarks on Malayan birds in 
Fauna Brit. Ind., Bds., 2nd ed, iv, 1927, p. (62, seem to apply to another 
species. For a discussion concerning the type locality for which “Pegu” 
was proposed by Robinson and Kloss in 1023, see Whistler. Journ. Bomb. 
Nat. Hist, Soc. xxxvii, 1934, p, 521.
