CATALOGUE OF CUGULI, 37 
Catalogue of the Cuckoos and Plantain-eaters 
(Cuculi) in the Derby Museum. 
By Henry O. Forbes and Herpert C. Roprnson. 
Note.—The arrangement and nomenclature followed in this Catalogue are nearly 
those adopted in the ‘Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum, Vol. XIX., 
by G. E. Shelley. All the species, known to us up to December 1897, are 
enumerated, those described since the publication of that volume having their 
original (or translated) diagnoses inserted. The names of species desiderata 
to our collection are printed in Grotesque type, thus—jacobinus. 
The specific name is followed by the number of specimens of it in 
the Museum, then by the sex of each, and lastly the locality whence obtained, 
with the month of capture, wherever these data are known. Type 
specimens are marked T.

The Palawan specimen, collected by the Steere Expedition to the Philippines, is

in the bill, and in having the upper surface of a steel-blue, instead of a greenish 
lustre. Bornean examples are more greyish beneath.
