WESTERN HALF OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 45 



53 A. — Circus spilonotus, Kaup.

*54. — Circus aruginosuSf Lin. 



[Malacca.] 



55. — Haliastur indus, Bodd. 



[Malacca, Wall. Salvad. U. di B,, 12 ; Penang, Cantor, Horsf. and Moore, 

 Cat. Mus. E. I. C, 415.J 



Seen at Singapore by Davispn. May prove to be B. inter- 

 medins. 



56 ter. — Milvus affinis, Gould. 



[Fenang, Cantor, Eorsf and Moore, Cat, Mus. H. I. C, 414.] 



^h7.—Pernis ptilorht/ncJtaj Tern. 



[Singapore.] 



*57 bis. — Pernis brachypterus, Bly. 



[Malacca.] 



I am much disposed to consider this form distinct ; see my 

 remarks, S. F., VI, 24. Certainly we get in the Malay Penin- 

 sula, two types, one the normal Indian form, the other a 

 smaller, intenser colored, very long-crested race. We have as 

 yet, hoAvever, too few specimens to speak positively. 



57 ter. — Mach(Bramplius alcinuSf Westerm, 



[Malacca, Gray, Brit. M. H. List, 26.J 



58. — Baza lophotes, Cuv. 



[Malacca, Schl. Wall. Ibis, 1868, 19 / Skarpe, B. M. Cat. I, 353.] 



58 bis ^.— Baza jerdoui, Blt/th, J. A. S. B., XL, 464 ; XV., 4. 



[Malacca, Blyth.'] 



I do not think that this species has yet been satisfactorily 

 identified. Blyth's own identification was^ I think, certainly 

 wrong. It may prove identical with my Baza incognita, but 

 1 do not think it is either magnirostris, sumatrensis or 

 reinwardti. 



59. — Elanus cceruleus, Desf. 



[Fenang, Cantor, Eorsf. and Moore, Cat, Mus, E. I. C, 414.] 



60. — Sirix javanica, Gm. 

 [Malacca, Salvad, U. di B., 22.]
