November Ylth , 1912.—Shot a “Kruak” as above, but 
it was a male with a good orange shield as above. 
Glareola orientalis, Leach. 
{The Large Indian Pratincole , or Swallow Plover.) 
I have never seen this species in Sarawak except for the 
above specimen, which I shot at Clandetown, where I 
watched it for some time soaring about. The bill is black, 
broad at the gape, which is coloured crimson. Feet and 
tarsus black; oil-gland tufted; iris brown. 
Bubulcus coromandus, Bodd. 
(The Cattle Egret.) 
The legs and feet are dark green, almost black; the 
claws are black; iris bright yellow. 
Accipiter virgatus, Temm. 
{The Besra Sparrow-Hawk.) 
Not uncommon. The bill is typical, black, and the tip 
shading into grey. The cere is greenish yellow. The 
feet and tarsus are a fine yellow with black claws; iris 
bright yellow, as are also the eyelids. 
ICTINiETUS MALAYENSIS, Temm. 
{The Malayan Black Eagle.) 
The above specimen was shot in a tall tree at sundown. 
It is said by natives to be a night-bird. A very handsome 
bird with splendid feet and claws; the eyes are large and 
inclined to be owl-like. The native with me called it a 
“ Menaul malam.” The bill, cere, and nostril are black; 
feet yellow ; iris bright yellow. 
Microhierax fringillarius, Drap. 
{The Malayan Falconet.) 
Fairly common, usually seen in pairs sitting on a tall 
dead tree, from which they make short flights to catch the 
insects, on which they chiefly live. Iris light brown ; 
thigh, tarsus, and feet black. 
Ketupa ketupa, Horsf. 
{The Fishing Owl.) 
There is a black cere ; iris yellow.
