1875.] THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO. 349 



The following Muscicapine forms attributed to the Philippines have not been rediscovered Tr. Z. S. ix. 

 in those islands : — 



Le Gohe-mouche a Ute bleudtre cle Visle de Lugon, Sonnerat, Voy. Nouv. Guin. p. 57, pi. 26. 

 no. 1. 



Muscicapa cceruleocephala. Scop. Del. Fl. Faun. Insubr. p. 95, no. 106 (1786), ex Sonn. 



Musicapa cyanocephala, Gm. S. N. i. p. 943, no 65 (1788), ex Sonn. ; v. Martens, J. f. O. 

 1866, p. 11, no. 35. 



Not since recognized. 



Le Gohe-mouche a gorge jaune de Visle de Luponf, Sonn. torn. cit. p. 57, pi. 26. f. 2. 



Mnscicapa maniUensis, Gm. torn. cit. p. 943, no. 66 (1788), ex Sonn. 



Judged by the description, a well-marked species ; I am, however, quite unable to identify it.

 Muscicapa macroura, Scopoli, torn. cit. p. 95, no. 107 (1786), ex Sonn. 

 Not since recognized. 



Gohe-mouche noir de Visle de Lugo?i, Sonn. torn. cit. p. 59, pi. 27. f. 2. 



Muscicapa tessacourhe, Scopoli, torn. cit. p. 95, no. 108 (1786), ex Sonn. 



Muscicapa luzoniensis, Gm. torn. cit. p. 942, no. 62 (1788), ex Sonn. 



Stated by Sonnerat to occur in Madagascar, where it is called by the natives tessacourhe, as well 

 as in the Philippines. It has not been recognized in the Philippines since Sonnerat wrote, and 

 it is in all probability a purely Madagascar form, namely Turdus alhospecularis, Eyd. & Gerv. 

 (Gue'rin, Mag. Zool. Ois. pis. 64, 65, " Madagascar," 1836 ; Voy. Favorite, Zool. p. 35, pis. 12, 13). 



Buffon (Hist. Nat. iv. p. 565), under the title of Le Moucherolle des Philippines, described 

 an apparently Muscicapine bird, which I am unable to identify. On it Gmelin based his 

 Muscicapa philippinensis (S. N. i. p. 943, no. 63); v. Martens, J. fiir O. 1806, p. 11, no. 34.

 the title of daurica, which Linnaeus adopted. \_Eirundo daurka, Laxmann, Kongl. Vetensk. Acad. Handl. (Holmi^) 17G9
