This specimen is common in the high mountains of the
Malav Peninsula, all our specimens being dated October to
March, but the above specimens, together with one from Pulau
Jemor, Aroa Islands, shot in November 1906 are the only ones

siawensis, Gyidenst. Ornith. Monatsi. xix, p. 27 (1916) ; loc. cit. p.
74, founded on two specimens from Ban Hue Pong, Northern
Siam. The descriptions read like that of a freshly moulted
specimen of the above species but without actual examination
of types or topotypical specimens it is impossible to be
certain.
