" Iris red, bill pinkish horn, feet slate." 



Very common in the winter months all over the north of 

 the Peninsula; scarcer in the south. None of the specimens 

 show any approach to the allied. 0. tenuirostris, which differs in 

 the much narrower black nuchal band and the broader yellow- 

 tips to the tail feathers. It has been recorded from the ex- 

 treme south of Tenasserim but never from within Peninsular 

 limits.

"Iris grey or hazel, bill and feet black." 



Common at the fishing stations along the coast as else- 

 where in the Malay Peninsula where this bird rarely occurs in 

 the inland districts, where its place is taken by the totally 

 different C. compilator, Richmond, C. enca, Horsf. 



These specimens, which are in freshly moulted plumage, 

 have the throat and back well developed and except on the 

 head and neck are glossed with purplish and green, the former 

 predominant. The bases of the feathers are dull gre)- but in 

 two others from Langkawi and Terutau these are much paler, 

 while a male from Trang has them nearly white. The whole 

 series from the Malay Peninsula is somewhat variable in this 

 respect as also in size, and in view of the fact that 

 Stresemann's recent monograph on the group (Verh. Ornith. Ges. 

 Baycrn, xii, pp. 377-404 (1916) is not accessible to me I do not 

 propose to attach any subspecihc name to these birds. Wing 

 335 and 338 mm.
