Hab. Manilla {Eydoux & Gervais). 



Lesson (/. c.) adopted the title of occipitalis, Temm., for an example of this species in the 

 Paris Museum, said to have been brought by Sonnerat from Manilla. Temminck, on being 

 applied to by Eydoux and Gervais, denied having ever named the species. On comparing a 

 bird brought by them from Manilla, Eydoux and Gervais found it to agi-ee with the 

 individual in the Paris Museum, and adopted the title of occipitalis. If the Philippine 

 habitat of this well-known Chinese form had rested solely on the locality inscribed on the 

 Paris-Museum label, I should have felt disinclined to trust it ; but Eydoux and Gervais's 

 statement that they obtained a similar bird at Manilla seems a sufficient authority for its 

 admission here.
