Sparsely distributed on all coasts. There is not sufficient 

 material extant to be certain whether the Siamese bird is to be 

 referred to the typical or to the Australian race (P. h. cristatus ). 

 Not improbably both forms occur, but the differences are trivial. 

 For the present we accept Gyldenstolpe's identification.
