head and nape coppery greenish-brown. This individual is fairly represented on plate 102. f. 2, 

 of the ' Planches Coloriees,' under the title of Cuculus chalcites, lUiger, exact habitat unknown. 

 It may be only a phase of plumage ; but Horsfield and Moore (Cat. Mus. E.I. C. ii. pp. 706, 

 707) keep the Malaccan species distinct from the Javan. 



35. HiEEOCOCCTX PECTOKALIS (60). 



[Zamboanga, s , April : iris pale yellow ; orbital skin bright chrome-yellow ; bill black ; 

 mandible and base of maxilla greenish ; feet bright wax-yellow ; claws horn-yellow.] 



A single example, which agrees in every detail with the description given by Dr. Cabanis. 

 It may also belong, as suggested by me (/. c), to Cuculus hyperythrus, Gould ; but it differs from 

 the figure of that species in wanting the black chin, in not being so intensely rufous underneath, 

 in the rufous colouring not extending below the breast, and in the upper plumage not being of 

 so dark a shade of grey. It also has four, distinct, transverse, narrow, dark caudal bands, and 

 not merely two as described by Mr. Gould. 



36. COCCTSTES COEOMANDDS. 



Cuculus coromandus, Linn. S. N. i. p. 171. no. 20. 



[Zamboanga, $, March: iris brown; bill jet-black; feet bluish grey; interior of gape 

 salmon-red.] 



New to the Philippines, and a most unexpected addition to their fauna. 



37. EUDTNAMIS MINDANENSIS (61). 



[Zamboanga, ? , March : iris bright crimson ; bill and legs greenish plumbeous, b, d , 

 March.] 



These are typical examples of the species, and do not differ from North-Mindanao examples. 

 They are somewhat smaller than birds from Guimaras and Zebu. Maximum length of wing 7'50. 

 In the female the spots and bands appear in this species to be always rufous. 



38. Centrococctx viridis (64). 

 [Zamboanga, March.] 



39. Pterhocentor melanops (65). 



[Zamboanga, c^ § , March.] 

 Sexes alike.
