THE BIRDS OF SOUTH-WEST AND PENINSULAR SIAM. 85 



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

 (Davison coll.) in the British Museum, which 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 Feathers, ix, p. 119), under the name Fregata minor (Gm.). 

 122. Phaethon indicus Hume. 



Phaethon 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) 

 Sula australis, A., p. 493 (Coast of Peninsular Siam and Ten- 



asserim). 

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

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



(Koh Rin) ; id. op. cit. iii, 1918, p. 38 (Koh Ohuan). 



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 melanogaster, 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). 



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



463 (Chaibassa, South Behai-). 

 Phalacrocorax carho, A., p. 496 (Tavoy) ; E., p. 115 (Patani) ; G., 



p. 153 (Ratburi and Petchaburi) ; H., p. 143 (Koh Pennan). 

 Phalacrocorax carho indicus, Mathews, Birds of Australia, iv, 1915,
