Professor Schlegel {I. c.) unites Nycticorax crassirosfris, Vigors (Voy. Blossom, Zool. p. 27, 

 "Bonin isl.," 1839), with N. manillensis. According to Vigors, it only differs from N. cale- 

 donicvs in the shape of the bill and its colour, and in the wing being an inch shorter. With 

 N. manillensis he makes no comparison. This last does appear to differ from ^. caledonicus; 

 but as the type of N. crassirosfris is no longer contained in the British Museum, although 

 enumerated in the Hand-list as being extant, I am unable to confirm Professor Schlegel's 

 opinion.
