1 Rare in Malayan waters near the coasts and apparently also rare on the 
Javan coasts. Breeds on Barren Island between Singapore and Borneo. 
3 The single specimen on record from Malacca (Maingay) is referred to 
this form purely on geographical grounds, 
3 This tern is known from the Bay of Bengal, but we doubt if it ever 
occurs in Malayan seas, Vorderman’s Sumatran record is a dubious 
one and the presence of the bird on the coast of Java needs confirmation.
