FASCICULI MALATENSES

c A school of five individuals of this species were enclosed in the fisher¬ 
men's seine, on the sea face of Tanjong, Patani, and we secured two specimens. 
Unfortunately, one was washed away by an unusually high tide. The fisher¬ 
men told us that they were often seen in Patani roads, and even crossed the 
bar of Patani River, but we never saw them except on this occasion. The 
specimens were both males, and were of a grey colour, between French grey 
and lead, slighter paler on the ventral surface.*

‘At Pak Yun, on the Taleh Sap (great lake), about half-way between 
Senggora and Lampam, 1 saw, on May 12, a school of five or six small 
cetaceans, apparently not much over four feet in length, and of an almost 
uniform rich chocolate brown (Platanista sp. ?). The water was here only 
very slightly brackish, the taste of salt being hardly perceptible. At the end 
of March, 1899, the ‘ Skeat* Expedition saw a school of similar cetaceans at 
almost exactly the same place, and the natives told me that it was always in the 
vicinity of the village, the lake being very narrow at this point.’—N.A. 
1 In the estuary of the Trang River, in salt water, I had a good view of 
a solitary cetacean, apparently about twice the size of those at Pak Yun, and 
of a uniform dead white colour. Its rostrum was only moderately elongated 
(Sotalia sinensis ?).’ —N.A.

In the two immature specimens the latter half, and in the adult the 
terminal third, of the tail is white.
