This specimen is common in <strong>the</strong> high mountains <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Malav Peninsula, all our specimens being dated October to<br />
March, but <strong>the</strong> above specimens, toge<strong>the</strong>r with one from Pulau<br />
Jemor, Aroa Islands, shot in November 1906 are <strong>the</strong> only ones<br />
recorded from low elevations. It is evident, <strong>the</strong>refore that <strong>the</strong><br />
species is migrant and not a permanent resident, <strong>the</strong> above<br />
specimens being on passage.<br />

" Iris black, bill black, <strong>the</strong> base yellowish, tarsi<br />
Common throughout <strong>the</strong> Peninsula during <strong>the</strong> winter<br />
months.<br />
I have grave doubts as to <strong>the</strong> validity <strong>of</strong> Alseonax<br />
siawensis, Gyidenst. Ornith. Monatsi. xix, p. 27 (1916) ; loc. cit. p.<br />
74, founded on two specimens from Ban Hue Pong, Nor<strong>the</strong>rn<br />
Siam. The descriptions read like that <strong>of</strong> a freshly moulted<br />
specimen <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> above species but without actual examination<br />
<strong>of</strong> types or topotypical specimens it is impossible to be<br />
certain.<br />
