 Two specimens. No. 09094, M. C. Z. 29390 from Guam, very bad condition, 

 unidentifiable with certainty, with longer bill than the others, but this seems 

 to be an age character. 



All these specimens have been compared with specimens in the U. S. 

 National Museum, with three specimens of Z. dispar from the Philippines, with 

 types and cotypes of Z. vaisiganis, with descriptions and figures in Cuvier & 

 Valenciennes, Bleeker, and in Day, and no differences can be detected 

 by which to separate them from Z. dispar; Z. vaisiganis seems identical.
