This cuckoo may be Cuculus himalayanus, -which has recently 

 been shot in Labuan by Governor Ussher ; but it is difficult to 

 decide without seeing a specimen. At present the species is only 

 known from the plate and description given by Peale, who procured 

 it on the island of Mangsi.

The receipt of three more specimens from Mr. Burbidge con- 

 vinces me that the Sulu Islands bird, which I thought was a race 

 of 0. frontalis, Wall., from the Sula Islands, is not really specifically 

 .separable from the common oriole of the Philippines, called by me 

 Oriolus chinensis, and by Lord Tweeddale Broderipns acrorhynchus. 

 A further comparison of the series seems to show that 0. frontalis 

 of Wallace, from the Sula Islands, is scarcely to be distinguished 

 from 0. chinensis, the only difference being the slightly greater 

 extent of yellow on the tail-feathers in the latter bird.
