Lepidogrammus cuMiNGi (Frascr) ; Grant, Ibis, 1894, 

 p. 520. 



Obtained in Albay district. One is a mere nestling, and 

 has the general colour of the head, mantle, and underparts 

 brownish black, the feathers being more or less fringed with 

 rufous. Among the feathers of the forehead are a number 

 of whitish bristles which look as if they had been singed at 

 the extremity. These are, no doubt, the prototypes of the 

 curious wax-tipped feathers of the adult. The wings and 

 tail are much like those of the adult, being black glossed 

 with greenish blue and the latter tipped with white. Tarsus 

 09 inch, middle toe and claw 1'2. In the adult, tarsus 

 165, middle toe and claw 1*55.
