 This species has not hitherto been known to inhabit the three islands above named. 

 The four examples in the collection cannot be separated from those which inhabit Luzon, 

 Negros, aud Cujo ; and, like them, their dimensions exceed those of the single type speci- 

 men of C brevipennis, Schlegel, at Leyden. C. philippinus, however, is nothing but a 

 slightly smaller form of C. validus, ex Sumatra, with a greenish rather than a bluish gloss 

 on the under plumage. The following Table shows the principal dimensions of the species 

 from six Philippine Islands, together with those of typical examples of C. validus : —
