The types of this handsome Sun-bird were obtained by 

 Mr. Everett at Surigao and Placer in the extreme north of 

 Mindanao, and an additional male specimen was afterwards 

 obtained by the same excellent naturalist on the island of 

 Sakuyok. After an inteiTal of 17 years, during which 

 nothing more has been heard of this species, Mr. Whitehead 

 has obtained an adult male in the extreme north-east of 

 Luzon, and it is worth noting that not a single example of 

 this bird was collected during the last Steere Expedition 

 (1887-8), though all the intermediate islands of importance 

 were visited. Probably this bird is met with only at con- 

 siderable elevations, which may account for its occurrence 

 in such widely separated localities as North Mindanao and 

 North Luzon.
