1923. | H. C. Ropinson & C. B. Kioss: Notes. 357 
80. For Aegialitis a. alexandrina (Linn.) sad Aegialitis 
alexandrinus dealbatus Swinh. 
Aegialitis dealbatus Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1870, p. 138 South Coast, China 
80e. Add Aegialitis alexandrinus peroni (bp.) 
Charadrius peron’ Bonaparte, Compt. Rend. XLII, 1856, p. 417. Java. 
(Vide Robinson and Kloss, Journ. Straits Branch Royal Asiat. Soc., 81, 
1920, p. 89; Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, V, 1921, p.p. 62, 63). 
89. Rhyacophilus glarcola. Asiatic birds have been named Glottis 
glottoides by Vigors (P. Z. S. 1831, p 173. Himalayas) but are not at present 
recognised as distinct. 
101. Plegadis faleinellus (Yantalus falcinellus, Linn. Syst. Nat. 
I, 1766, p. 241. This species is recorded as 478 Fualcinellus igneus, Gm. 
(cosmopolite) by Vorderman. Though it not improbably occurs it is not 
vouched for by any authentic record If the bird is found in Sumatra it will 
probably belong to the South-eastern race Pf. pevegrinus (Bp. Consp. Av. JI, 
1857, p. 159. (Java and Celebes). 
104. Dissoura stormi. This bird is a distinct species and not a local 
race of the preceding. It has been collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott and Mr. C. 
B. Kloss on the Little Siak River, Eastern Sumatra. 
105. Leptoptilus dubius (4rdea dubia, Gmelin. Syst. Nat. 1, 1788, 
p. 624), is recorded by Vorderman as No. 474 of his list but probably does not 
occur in the Malaysian sub-region. 
110. Herodias alba. We are not certain which race occurs in 
Sumatra: the typical western H. a. alla, or the south-eastern form H. a. 
modesta (Gray, Zool. Misc. p. 19, 1831. India: syn. A. timoriensis Lesson, 
Timor). 
lll. Garzetta garzetta. We cannot state whether the typical race 
occurs in Sumatra, or the South-eastern form G. g. nigvifes (Iemminck, Man, 
d’Orn, IV, p. 376, 1840. Sunda Ids.). 
116. We have not included Ardeola speciosa (Horsf.), mentioned 
by Vordermann in his list of Sumatran birds, as no specimens from that island 
seem to be extant. 
120. The Zoological Museum at Buitenzorg possesses an adult male and 
a young individual of Nannocnus eurythmus from Palembang. 
125. Dendrocycna arcuata. Heer E. Jacobson obtained two 
examples at Palembang in September, 1916 
128-158. Pelicaniformes. Very few examples of this order have been 
obtained from Sumatra and we have seen none ourselves: we can therefore 
claim no accuracy for this section of our jist. 
128. Read Plotus rufa melanogaster 
129. We have not sufficient material to decide which form of this 
cormorant inhabits Sumatra: it is probably sinensis (Shaw and Nodder) 
of China, with which, according to Ticehurst (Ibis, 1923, p. 458) indicus 
Mathews, is synonymous. The oc urrence of Phalacrocorax javanicus 
(Carbo javunicus Horsfield, Trans. Linn. Soc. XIII, p. 197, (1821) in Sumatra, 
recorded by Vordermann as 486 Muicrocurbo pigmaeus, Pall. (Borneo, Java) 
remains to be verified. 
130. Fregata aquila. lothschild states (Nov. Zool. XXII, 1o15, 
p. 146) that the British Museum possesses a Frigate-biid ccllected at 
“Malacca’’ by Davidson which is indistinguishable frcm Ascensicn Islerd 
males. 
135. Pheethon rubricauda, Boddaert (Tabl. Pl. Enl. 1783, p. 57, 
included in Vorderman’'s list as No. 491 does not appear to have been obtained 
nearer to Sumatra than Christmas Island where it is common. The birds 
occurring there have been named by Mathews P. 1. westvalis (Austral Av. Rec. 
I, 1912, p. 88. West Australia). Another Tropic-bird found on Chr&tmas 
Id. is P. fuluus Brandt.
