308 ON THE BIEDS mHABITING [1875. 



Hab. Philippines {G. R. Gray). 



Mr. J. H. Gumey informs me that Philippine examples of this species are preserved in the 

 Norwich Museum.

The Philippine habitat rests on the authenticity of three male examples in perfect plumage 

 in the Leyden Museum, and two in the British Museum, all collected by the late Mr. Hugh 

 Cumins:.

Hah. Luzon (Gevers). 



The figure is taken from the first of the two examples described by Mr. Gumey {I. c.) ; and 

 it will be observed that the Philippine bird nearly resembles the small South-Indian and Ceylon 

 race, L. ceylonensis (Gm.). L. kienerii may likewise occur in Luzon ; but the single individual 

 in the Leyden Museum, doubtfully referred to it by Professor Schlegel, does not agree Avith 

 what is known of either the young or adult plumage of that well-marked species.

 Ogilby, P. Z. S. 1835, p. 105, is now known to be indigenous to Africa only, although stated by 

 Sonnerat to likewise inhabit the Philippines.
