XVI. BIRDS FROM THE ONE FATHOM BANK 
LIGHTHOUSE, STRAITS OF MALACCA, 
November, 1918 and November and December, 1919, 
by 
H. C. Rosinson anp C. Bopen Kxtoss. 
The One Fathom Bank Lighthouse is an erection on 
a submerged bank in the middle of the Straits of Malacca 
about fifteen miles distant from Pulau Pintu Gedong, 
the nearest point of the Selangor Coast and about 
26 miles from the Aroa Islands towards the Sumatran 
coast, whence a collection has already been reported on 
(Journ. Fed. Malay States Mus. ii, pp 8-14 (1906). This 
collection was made during November and is very - 
similar in character. 
The present list adds two birds to the Fauna of the 
Malay Peninsula, viz: 
Chelidon dasypus (Bp.) 
Oceanodroma monorhis (Swinh.) 
while several species only rarely met with on the main- 
land were found in abundance. 
With very few exceptions all the specimens were 
either killed against the light or captured while fluttering 
around it. Species which were obtained on the Aroa 
Islands are marked with an asterisk.
