THE BIRDS OF SOUTH-WEST AND PENINSULAR SIAM. 85 



above quoted, but it may here be noted that the d from Malacca 

 (Davison coll.) in tlie British MuHcum, whicli he assigns to F. aquila, 

 with a query as to the correctness of its provenance, is obviously the 

 bird from Pulau Nongsa in Singapore Straits, described by Hume 

 (Stray Featliers, ix, p. 119), under the name Fregata Tninor (Gm.). 

 122. Phaethon indicus Hume. 



rikaethon indicus, Hume, Stray Feathers, iv, 1876 p. 481 (Mekran 

 Coast) ; A., p. 493 (Victoria Point). 



The only record for our area is the one noted by Davison 



from south of Victoria Point. There is a skin labelled " Straits of 



Malacca (Cantor) " in the British Museum, but we have never seen 



the bird in local waters. 



123. Sula sula (Linn.). 



Pelecanus sula, L'nn., Syst. Nat. i, 1766, p. 218 (Indian Seas) 

 A^'ula australis. A., p. 493 (Coast of Peninsular Siam and Ten- 



asserim). 

 Dysporus sula, 0. ii, p. 229 (Coast of Tenasserim). 

 Sula sula, Williamson, Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, ii, 191, p. 63 



(Koh Rin) ; id. op. oit. iii, 1918, p. 38 (Koh Chuan). 



Common on the western coast of Siam : we have not seen it 

 on the east side, though we have been assured that it is found breed- 

 ing in a small island off the coast of Nakon Sritamarat 

 Plotus melanogaster (Penn.). 



Anhinga melanoyaster. Pennant, Indian Zool., 1760, p. 53, pi. XV 

 (Ceylon and Java) ; F., p. 19 (Langkawi Ids.). 



This bird also must certainly occur in Lower Siam : two or 



three specimens used to live in the lake in Dayang Bunting, 



Langkawi Ids. 



124. Phalacrocorax carbo albiventer (Tickell). 



Carbo albiventer, Tickell, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, xi, 1842, p.
