Lord Walden remarks, " ^. pMlippemh, apud .T(-rd., No. 849, and which is the 

 number in Mr. Blyth's MS., is^C. curonicus, Gm. But perhaps the species actually 

 intended by Mr. Blyth is JE. minuta (Pallas), apud Jerdon, No. 850, and of which 

 Lieutenant W. Ramsay obtained specimens at Toughoo. The title C. philippeims, 

 Lath., was founded on the same plate as that of C. dubius, Scopoli. Until the species 

 which inhabits the island of Luzon has been studied, the correct titles for the two 

 species cannot be determined. The synonymy is very simple, but the correct applica- 

 tion of the various titles cannot bo made until the Philippine type has been compared."
