Hah. Philippines {Blyth, I. c). 

 Tr. Z. S^ix. ffemipodius fasciatus, Temm. Pig. et Gallin. iii. pp. 634, 757, " Philippines " (1815), was 



^" ""^' described from a single example, stated on its label to be from the Philippines. Later Temminck 

 (Keceuil d'Ois. 10* livr. 1823), in his monographic sketch of the genus Ilemijwdiits, omitted 

 this title altogether, but added to the Javan habitat of his ff. 2ni(jnax, as first described (Pig. et 

 Gall.), that of the Philippines as well as Sumatra. Beyond this there seems to be no evidence 

 of a second species of Turnix inhabiting the Philippines ; and it may be taken that //. fasciatus f 

 is the same species as H. pugnax.

EoLLULUS, Bonnaterre.

Cryptomjx, sp., v. Martens, J. f. O. 1866, p. 25, no. 141. 



"Above red-brown; underneath black. No crest, nor nail on the hallux." Dr. v. 

 Martens thus describes a bird of this genus he observed in the collection of the Military 

 Library at Manilla.

Megapodius cumingii, Dillvvyn, P. Z. S. 1851, p. 118, pi. 39, "Labuan, Philippines;" 

 G. E. Gray, P. Z. S. 1861, p. 290, no. 11 ; v. Martens, J. f O. 1866, p. 26. 



Described from Labuan individuals, and identified by Mr. Dillwyn as identical with the 

 species obtained in the Philippines by Mr. Cuming. A recomparison is, however, desirable. 



A species of Bustard, described and figured by Sonnerat under the title of le Faon saumge 

 de Visle de Lxigon (Voy. Nouv. Guin. p. 85, pi. 49), and said by him to occur also at the Cape 

 of Good Hope, is clearly not a Philippine species. It, however, is a vv'ell-known South-African 

 Bustard, of which the following is the synonymy : — 



Charadrius crisfatus, Scop. Del. Fl. Faun. Insub. ii. p. 93, no. 82 (1788), ex SoniT. ; Schlegel, 

 Mus. Pays-Bas, Cursores, p. 8 ; G. E. Gray, Hand-list, no. 9919.
