| Robinson (1927) states: “I doubt if it still exists in Singapore, but in 1904 Kloss obtained it at Woodlands (see records 1982 and 1983), and it was not rare at Changi in 1908." We adopt the treatment by Wang & Hails (2007) to declare the 1908 record as the last historic record for Singapore, and hence accept this record. |
