Carpophaga perspiciUata (Temm.), PI. Col. 246, was described from the Philippines and the 

 Moluccas. Professor Schlegel (Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk. 18GG, p. 195) doubts the correctness of 

 the Philippine habitat, and confines the range to the Halmalieira group of islands and the island 

 of Bourn. The allied form, Carpophaga neghcta, Schl., /. c, occurs also in Ceram, Amboyna, 

 and the island of Boano.
