t The last three specimens have the appearance of having been skinned by 

 the same person ; they agree with the others except in the wing, which is a 

 little longer, so that I am not quite satisfied whether they belong to L. indicus. 

 Dr Finsch has already alluded to the specimen labelled Mindanao (Papag. ii. 

 p. 717).
