70 ON PLATALEA REGIA. 



Everett ') has recorded a specimen under the name of 

 PL intermedia, as having been obtained on Borneo ; I have 

 not seen Everett's paper, but I suppose, he makes mention 

 of this species in the list of Bornean birds on authority 

 of Ogilvie-Grant. 



Hartert mentions three specimens collected by Kiihn on 

 the Key Islands ^) and one specimen from Wetter, collected 

 by the same ^). 



From S. E. New Guinea the bird is reported by Ogilvie- 

 Grant *) as PL intermedia, a specimen being obtained at 

 Port Moresby. No cases of occurrence in Western New 

 Guinea are known to me. 



. These single captures prove, that our bird is a very 

 rare straggler in the Eastern Austro-Malay Archipelago 

 and that its western limits are N. E. Celebes and 'Timor.
