Short Communications1994 77 SCHRENCK'S BITTERN IN BARTTO ULU, CENTRAL KALIMANTAN By S. Van Balen, Asep Adikerana and Boeadi While working through the bird collection of the Zoological Museum of Bogor, our attention was drawn to a specimen of a Schienck's Bittern Ixobrychus eurhythmus collected in Barito Utu by Boeadi but omitted from previous lists from the area (vide Wilkinson et al. 1990, and also Errata in Kukila 6: 145).  In view of the fact mat this species is an uncommon Palearctic migrant to Borneo (Smythies 1981), we consider it worthwhile to record the details here. The specimen, an immature female, was collected at Muara Rekut, along the Busang river, on 11 October 1988. The bird did not look healthy and was easily obtained along the river bank. Three other pre-war specimens from Borneo are deposited in the Bogor collections, the labels saying Samarmda (two birds) and Borneo (one bird). References Smythies, B.E. 1981. The birds of Borneo.
