332 ON THE BIEDS INHABITING [1875. 



Tr. Z. S. ix. Vieillot bestowed the 'title above quoted on an individual preserved in Temminck's 



^'' ^^'^' collection, said to be from the Moluccas, and which up to that time had not been described. 



Bonaparte (/. c.) identified the individual thus named with £. sulcatus. Vieillot's description 



leaves it to be inferred that the tail is black, and in that respect does not agree veith the male or 



female of this Philippine Hombill. 



Temminck (/. c.) includes the Marianne archipelago within the range of this species — 

 a statement which is contradicted by Quoy and Gaimard (Ann. Sc. Nat. vi. p. 150, note), who 

 affirm from their own observation, that no species of Biiceros inhabits those islands. In his 

 sketch of the genus (Recueil d'Ois. 36" livr.) Temminck only assigns the Philippines as the 

 habitat. And Schlegel {I. c.) mentions that Temminck's type, still existing at Leyden, came 

 from Mindanao, which is also the origin of the example in the British Museum. 

 The female differs from the male in having the whole body-plumage black.

Hah. Island of Guimaras, March {Meyer) ; Panay {Sonnerat). 



Sonnerat, during his visit to the island of Panay in the beginning of the year 1772, obtained 

 examples, male and female, of a small Hornbill, which he brought to Paris. 



This species he described and figured (/. c). The description and figure of the male (female 

 according to Sonnerat, pi. 83) are correct ; but the description of the female (pi. 82) is erroneous 

 in so far that Sonnerat states that the breast and abdomen are coloured alike in both sexes. 

 This error is also to be found represented in the plate (82) f; and I am unable to offer a satis- 

 fixctory explanation. D'Aubenton figured {I. c.) both sexes correctly ; but, curiously enough, 

 Tr. Z. S. Ls. Bufibn [l. c), instead of giving an original description, copied that of Sonnerat, and, although he 

 P' ■^^^' quoted D'Aubenton's plates, omitted to notice the discrepancy. 



t Le Vaillant (?. e.) remarks that the figure of the female (pi. 83) is ahsolutely nothing but that of the male, counter- 

 drawn line for line and reversed. Even if this bo true, it does not account for the erroneous descrip<:ion given in the 

 letterpress. Lc YaiUant figures {I. c.) and describes both sexes with sufficient accuracy.
