318 Mr. R. B. Sliarpc on Birds 



I have ventured to attach to this species the name of 

 Mr. Edward llargitt^ who is doing such excellent work with 

 the Picidse. 



AlCEDO BENGALENSIS, Gm. 



Alcedo bengalensis, Gm. ; Wardlaw Ramsay, t. c. p. 655. 

 New to Palawan. 



Pelargopsis leucocephala (Gm.). 



Pelargopsis leucocephala (Gm.); Sharpe^ t. c. p. 317; Ward- 

 law Ramsay^ t. c. p. G55. 



Two specimens. Found by Prof. Stecre in the island. 



Ceyx rufidorsa^ Strickl. 



Ceycc rufidoi'sa, Strickl.; Sharpe^ Monogr. Alced. pi. 41. 



New to the Philippine group. 



CORONE PUSILLA (Twccdd.). 



Corvus pusillus, Tweedd. I.e. p. 622; Wardlaw Ramsay, 

 /. c. p. 658. 



Several specimens in the collection, I think, in contra- 

 vention to the opinion of the late Lord Tweeddale, that 

 this is one of the races of C. euca. The wing varies from 

 9-3 to 10-4. 



BUCHANGA LEUC0PH.EA (V.) . 



Buchanga leucophcua (V.) ; Tweedd. t. c. p. 615 ; Wardlaw 

 Ramsay, t. c. p. 656. 



Buchanga cineracea, Sharpc, /. c. p. 324. 



Already obtained in Palawan by Prof. Steere and Mr. 

 Everett. 



Chibia palawanensis (Tweedd.). 



Dicrurus palawanensis, Tweedd. /. c. p. 614 ; Wardlaw 

 Ramsay, t. c. p. 656. 



This species appears to me to be distinct, as the speci- 

 mens bear out the observations of Lord Tweeddale, who 

 possessed a special knowledge of these puzzling birds. The 

 lanceolate spangles on the fore neck, however, will distinguish 

 it from C. pectoralis, like which species it has the throat 

 unspotted.
