from “ Malacca,” while the Selangor Museum possesses a 
specimen from Klang that we regard as belonging to the 
same species, which has also been recorded by Grant from 
Patani. In Trang this bird kept in large flocks, and, unlike 
Bubulcus coromandus , was so shy as to be almost un¬ 
approachable.

The Cattle-Egret is a bird of very uncertain distribution 
in the Peninsula, though in some districts, usually near the 
coast, it is very abundant. It is, as its trivial namie implies, 
almost invariably associated with cattle, in the case of the 
Malay Peninsula with the water-buffalo, which it attends 
so closely that it is often difficult to obtain specimens with¬ 
out injuring or stampeding the beasts. It was very numerous 
and tame in Trang in December and in Langkawi in 
November. In the south of the Peninsula the buff breeding- 
plumes are assumed about April.

This Stork is common on the rice-fields and open plains 
of Trang and also in Langkawi. Dr. Annandale and I found 
it* abundant in the interior of the Patani States on the 
east coast of the Peninsula, but it has not, as yet, been 
recorded from south of the latitude of Penang.

A specimen of this large Adjutant was obtained on the 
Lay Song Houg, a shallow lake or rather lagoon in the 
interior of Trang, in January 1910. 
Most of the records for this species from the Malay 
Peninsula should probably be referred to the smaller species 
L. javanicus Horsf., which is very common along the coast, 
though hard to procure in most places owing to its shyness 
and the depth of the mud, which is infested with crocodiles.
