This species was included by Count Salvadori in his work as a bird 

 likely to be met with in Borneo. An adult and a young specimen 

 are sent by Mr. Treacher, with the same native name as the larger 

 Frigate-bird. The red colour of the bill and the much shorter 

 wings and toes induce me to believe that the smaller Frigate-bird is 

 a good species, which I was inclined to doubt when I wrote my report 

 on the Kerguelen birds.
