An addition to the list of Bornean birds: Numenius minutus Gould. F.N. Chasen and C.B. Kloss. Records of the Raffles Museum, No. 28
This brief note by F. N. Chasen and C. B. Kloss records the addition of Numenius minutus Gould to the list of Bornean birds, based on a specimen from Kuching (p. 351).
Summary
The note is extremely short in substance. The majority of page 350 consists of the concluding portion of a preceding article on a squirrel species (with detailed cranial and external measurements of specimens from Brunei and Tenompok), which overflows onto this page. The actual content pertaining to Numenius minutus is confined to the final paragraph on page 351, which states that the species breeds in Eastern Siberia, reaches Australia in winter, has been recorded from Celebes and the Philippines, and that the Kuching specimen represents the most westerly known example in the tropics (p. 351).
