44. LOKICULUS. 531 



length about 6 inches, wing 3-7, tail 1-95, bill 0*6, tarsus 0'42. 

 (Museum Rothschild.) 



Female. No gular red patch, lores and cheeks blue. (Museum 

 Rothschild.) 



Hub. Sooloo Islands. 



I am indebted to the Hon. Walter Rothschild for having sent 

 to me for comparison four of the five specimens collected in the 

 Sooloo Islands by Dr. Guillomard and Air. Powell, and three more 

 collected by Dr. Platen. I have recently shown that the bill of 

 this species, contrary to Dr. Guillemard's statement, is black. 



Dr. Guillomard is certainly wrong also in considering the Sooloo 

 bird identical with the one from Leyte, Bohol, Dinagat, Mindanao, 

 and Basilan, as, besides the different colouring of the bill, it is 

 larger, and has the tail dark green above, with no blue towards the 

 end of the feathers, a feature which is constant in L. apicalis from 

 the Philippines.
