Quite common on tlie east coast of Siam but rare on tlie west. 

 Tropical races are much smaller than European ])irds and the name 

 P. carho alhiventer Tickell, probably applies.

The Lesser Cormorant is not a marine species, but appears to 



occur on the uppar reaches of many rivers in Siam and the Malay 



Peninsula. We have seen it in mountain streams in Bandon.

Phalacrocorax fuscicollis, Staph, in Shaw's Gen. Zool. xiii, 1826,

Though the Brown-necked Shag has not as yet been actually 



recorded from our area, it is almost certain to occur ; it is therefore 



inserted in the key.

Pelecanus roseus, Gmelin, Syst. Nat. i, 1788, p. 570 (Luzon). 



Pelicans are common in the Trang swamps, in the vicinity of 

 the Tal^ Sap and Tale Noi in Patelung, and on the coast in Patani 

 Bay, and on the Bandon Bight, but few specimens have, as far as we 

 are aware, been obtained. This species, however, is certain to occur.
