a. ¢. North side of Telibun Straits, Trang, S.W. 
Siam. ist January, 1977. [No. 3808]. 
“Tris chrome, orbits black, bill black, gular skin 
crimson lake mottled with black, lores mottled crimson and 
black feet deep salmon pink.” 
This specimen was one of a pair that frequented the 
shore in the neighbourhood of the seaward entrance to the 
Telibun Straits and which was eventually shot on a sandy 
lagoon near the sea. The nest, a very large and untidy 
structure of sticks, was built on a ledge some distance up a 
precipitous limestone crag. It contained four eggs, which 
were obtained for us by one of the local “orang laut,” a 
primitive coast-tribe, who are very clever and daring cliff climb- 
ers. One was unfortunately broken in the descent. The 
remaining three were rather hard set, the shells dull or slightly 
glossy white, heavily pitted especially towards the smaller end. 
The outline is variable one being much more pointed than the 
other two.

The occurrence of the species in the Malay Peninsula has 
hitherto rested in three specimens from ‘‘ Penang,” in the 
British Museum, collected by Cantor. The locality given is 
almost certainly incorrect and the specimens must either have 
been aviary birds or collected on the adjacent mainland, 
probably in Perlis or Trang.
