Mr. Blyth (J. A. S. B. 18G1, p. 96) refers to, and partially describes, a species of Vohocioom TnZ^S. i 

 that was among some Philippine birds sent to him by Mr. Swinhoe to examine. I am unable 

 to identify it ; and Mr. Blyth bestowed no title.

Ilab. Luzon, January {Meyer). 



Dr. Meyer procured one example only of this anomalous form. It is in full black plumage, 

 and labelled a male. I am uncertain under which Graucaline genus to class this species. 

 Mr Blyth (/ c.) has remarked that it " might be regarded as the type of a new division." 



' That aentleman (Ibis, 1806, p. 368) has stated that his type is the female of C. aterrima. 

 I have failed to discover the name of the author of this title, and Mr. Blyth is unable to inform 

 me who bestowed it.
