In the paper quoted above Mr. Oberholser has revived
a name of Peale's for this common Malayan goatsucker, which
had escaped Mr. Hartert's attention and has shown that in
all probability the specimen came from the vicinity of Malacca
and not from Singapore as stated.
The fairi\ large material in this museum bear.-, out his
contentions, in that a specimen from Pulau Besar, Malacca,
agrees with other specimens from further north in the
Peninsula and differs from three from Singapore Id. including
an actual topotype of C. m. anamesus, Oberholser (loc. cit.
P- 593'- from Tanjong katong, in being decidedly larger.
The latter race is probably valid but larger series from
Singapore and Sumatra require comparison with series from
Borneo. Should they prove identical, as may not improbably
be the case, they will have to bear the name C. in. salvadorii,
Sharpe (Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1875. p. 99, pi. 22. tig. 1).
The large pale form, C. m. albonotatus, does not come down
south into the Malay Peninsula or even into Southern Siam.
