Two specimens of this bird were shot by Mr. E. G. Herbert in 
1914 at, T believe, Samkok, on the Chao Phya river about 35 miles 
north of Bangkok, but, by an oversight, the species was not included 
in the list of new records from Siam published by me in June 1916 in 
Vol. II of this Journal, pps. 59-65. 
I have since obtained a number of specimens, including four in 
the immediate neighbourhood of Bangkok. It is common at Klong 
Rangsit, about 15 miles north of the Capital, as well as along the 
various klongs (canals) in the country to the south and south-east of 
the city, and I have also seen it by the side of the railway line at least 
as far north as Paknampo. All these localities are on the east side of 
the Chao Phya river. 
The bird has a striking habit of flying up with rapid beats of 
the wings to a height of 20 or 30 feet, and then planing down, at an 
VOL. III, NO. I, 1918.
