1 Occurring as it does in the South China, Sutu and Java Seas this tern 
must be included in the avifauna of Borneo although we know of no actual 
record from that island. Specimens from Luzon and Palawan also appear 
to be bangsi {fide H . C. Robinson in !itt.). 5 ”. d. korustes Hume (Andamans),

Straits of Malacca, but our few specimens from this latter locality seem to 
be bangsi.

this race must occur within sight of the coast.

edwardsi or cri status.
