This species has not hitherto been known to inhabit the three islands above named. The 

 four examples in the collection cannot be separated from those which inhabit Luzon, Negros, 

 and Cujo ; and, like them, their dimensions exceed those of the single type specimen of C. hrcd- 

 pennis, Schlegel, at Leyden. C. jjhUippinns, however, is nothing but a slightly smaller form of 

 C. validus, ex Sumatra, with a greenish rather than a bluish gloss on the under plumage. The 

 following Table shows the principal dimensions of the species from six Philippine islands, 

 together with those of typical examples of C. validus.
