118 THE BIRDS OF THE WESTERN HALF 



*688 ter. — Sturnia sinensis, Gm. 



[Singapore.] 



Davison obtained a single specimen, an immature bird, 

 of this species, on Singapore Island. It is of course the 

 Pastor elegans of Lesson, and it has been recently procured, 

 on several occasions, in Pegu, by Mr. Oates, to whom I am 

 indebted for a nearly adult specimen. 



*704. — Estrelda amandava, Lin. 



*704 bis. — Estrelda flavidiventris. Wall. 



[Singapore Island.] 



We procured specimens of both these species in a thoroughly 

 wild state on Singapore Island, but, as in the case of Oryzivora 

 leucotis, they appear to occur nowhere else in the Peninsula, 

 and plentiful as they may now be, in a wild state on that 

 Island, we believe that all three species have been introduced 

 there. 



*844. — Squatarola helvetica, Lin. 



[Jurrum in Selangore, Pulo Nongsa.] 



*848. — yEgialitis cantiana, Lath. 



[Singapore, Pulo Nongsa.] 



*875 bis A. — Liraosa novae-zealandise, Gray. 



[Changlii, Singapore Island.] 



A single specimen, with the much barred rump, (and it 

 appears to me, sex for sex longer bill,) of this eastern race, was 

 procured on the southernmost extremity of Singapore Island. 

 It differs, recognizably, I think, from our large series of 

 lapponica (rufa) which I obtained at Kurrachee. 



*877. — Numenius lineatus f Cnv. 



[Tonka.] 



Although omitted from our previous lists, this species is not 

 uncommon in the Malay Peninsula, along the sea coast, right 

 down to the southernmost extremity. 



*878.; — Numenius phaopus, Lin. 



[Klang, Jurrum, Pulo Nongsa.] 



Even more common than the preceding. 

 *911. — Porzana fusca, Lin. 



[Klang.] 



The only specimen of this species we have yet met with in 

 the Peninsula.
