* There is justification for a wider linking of the forms of Megapodius 
than has hitherto been practised. We do not believe in the occurrence 
(unaided) of the genus on any of the large land masses in Malaysia, but 
megapodes will undoubtedly be discovered on other small islands in the 
sub-region.
