to our camp by a local boy who obtained it
on a stream that ran through his kampong (village) near our sulap
(hut). The stream was a small one that ran out of the primary
forest, through the village, and back into secondary forest.

_=Butorides striatus=_ (Linnaeus): Little Green Heron.--_Specimens_, 2:
Telipok: [Female], March 10, 1963, TM 67; Sex?, December 13, 1962, TM 6.

This heron was seen at Karindingen Island on August 17, 1962, in a
small swamp near the Tawau airport on September 16, and on the reef
at Siamil Island on September 18. The specimens collected at
Telipok were not identified to subspecies.

_=Ixobrychus cinnamomeus cinnamomeus=_ (Gmelin): Chestnut
Bittern.--_Specimen_, 1: Tuaran: Sex?, December 24, 1963, SCFC 32.

This specimen was probably taken in the paddy around the
Agricultural Research Centre, where I saw Chestnut Bitterns in
January 1963.

_=Leptoptilos javanicus=_ (Horsfield): Lesser Adjutant
Stork.--_Specimen_, 1: Karindingen Island: [Male] testis small, November
24, 1962, MCT 3311.

My first observation of this species was at Karindingen Island on
August 17, when approximately 100 birds were seen feeding on the
coral sand and reefs. I saw them also within a mile of Semporna
along the ship channel, usually in the vicinity of fish traps. On
August 31 two birds flew high overhead at Quoin Hill, proceeding in
the direction of Cowie Harbor. On November 24, large numbers at
Karindingen Island were sitting in mangroves and feeding on the
reefs around the island. Two birds were caught by the rising tide
while feeding on the reef and were unable to take off. One of these
was shot in approximately six to seven feet of water; its feathers
were completely waterlogged. Interestingly the flaky skin of the
crown had blue-green algae growing on it. These birds were heard
calling many times on the reef and in the mangroves; the call is
much like the deep growl of a dog.

Sims, Banks, and Harrison have found the storks common in this area
(Smythies, 1957:569). Although I could find no evidence of it,
possibly Karindingen Island is a nesting locality.

_=Anas querquedula=_ Linnaeus: Garganey.--_Specimen_, 1: Kg. Banjar:
sex? November 13, 1963, ADG 329.

This teal obtained by Garcia is our only record of any duck from
North Borneo.
