We have followed Hartert in not separating this section generically under 
Globicera, Bp., as is done by Salvadori (Cat. Birds, Brit. Mus. xxi., p. 171), the 
fleshy knob on the culmen being merely a seasonal peculiarity.

*‘Comparing Ké specimens with a very large series from many localities (Sanghir 
Islands, Siao, Dammar, Timor Laut, and Djampea), I do not find that they differ 
in size, but that the entire under surface is not light grey, but creamy white, 
with only a very faint cinereous tinge.” (Hartert). Habitat. Ké Islands.

‘* Like C. concinna, but the lower breast and abdomen deep vinaceous buff, not light 
grey; the under tail-coverts dark chocolate brown, not chestnut; under wing- 
coverts dark grey, without any green; feathers of frontal edge divided by the 
culmen into two points, grey like the head, not white; an extensive area on 
hind-neck pale vinaceous ; tail above nearly myrtle green, not dark blue; back 
dark bronze green, instead of golden green; feet dusky with a red hue, not 
cherry red. Wing, 263-271; tail, about 160; tarsus, about 28; bill from first 
feathers of forehead, about 20mm.” (Meyer & Wiglesworth). Habitat. Talaut

pulchella, ald. One. Sula Island. 
Count Salvadori has included the Sula Island bird in C. paulina. This specimen, 
however, which was collected by Allen, Mr. Wallace’s assistant, differs in being 
strongly copper coloured above, not green as in C. paulina. In C. pulchella 
the ear-coverts are darker and the rufous nuchal patch narrower and paler in 
colour. The wing is about 4 inch less than C. paulina. 
nuchalis, Cab. One. @. Philippine Islands (North Luzon, May). 
This specimen bears out Mr. Ogilvie-Grant’s remarks on the validity and size of 
this species (cf Ibis, 1895, p. 116, 117).
