In the "Birds of Tenasserim "* it is remarked that this is a 

 rare visitant to the Province, and that if common anywhere it is 

 only so in the islands of the Mergui Archipelago. Mr. Davison 

 procured it fifty -two miles north-west of Moulmein and at Kolan 

 Island, twenty-five miles south of Mergui.
