Mr. Ogilvie-Grant (Ibis, 1897, p. 243) considers that this species is distinct from 
C. melanura, with which it has been united by Dr. Sharpe (Cat. Birds, Brit. Mus. 
xvili. p. 181).

No. 2 is the specimen figured by Dr. Sharpe as C. philippinensis (Mon. Alced. p. 118, 
pl. xxxvii., 1869). 
It does not yet seem satisfactorily ascertained whether C. philippinensis and C. 
cyanipectus, are really distinct species or merely the sexes of the same ; we have 
preferred to follow Messrs. Bourns and Worcester in adopting the latter view.

** Adult male :—General colour of back and upper tail-coverts bright cobalt blue, 
slightly lighter than in C. cyanipectus. Crown and nape blue-black thickly 
spotted with bright cobalt, the spots being much wider and slightly lighter than 
in C. cyanipectus. Spots much larger on hind neck, causing it to appear nearly 
uniform cobalt. 
**Scapulars black, heavily washed with dark verditer blue. Wing-coverts washed 
with verditer blue, each feather with a bright spot or stripe of cobalt blue. 
Wing black, the outer webs of secondaries heavily washed with light verditer 
blue. Tail black, the central pair of feathers washed with verditer blue on both

wing, 2°22; tail, ‘88. Length of a single male measured in the flesh, 6°50. 
Female like the male but bas only a half band of verditer blue across the breast, 
this being more imperfect than in C. cyanipectus. Average measurements from
