HARRINGTON’S CUCKOO, 
Dryococcyx harringtoni SHarre, Trans. Linn. Soc. Zool. (1877), 1, 321, 
fig. 1; Hand-List (1900), 2, 172; SHettey, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. 
(1891), 19, 400; McGrecor and WorcEsTER, Hand-List (1906), 64. 
Balabac (Steere, Everett); Calamianes (Bourns & Worcester, McGregor) ; 
Palawan (Everett, Lempriere, Whitehead, Platen, Steere Exp., Bourns & Wor- 
cester, Celestino, White). 
Adult (sexes similar).—Forehead, jaw, and narrow: lines above and 
below eye, gray; crown and occiput olive-brown, faintly glossed with 
green; back, rump, and basal two-thirds of tail glossy metalic green; 
distal half of tail dark chestnut; chin, throat, breast, sides of neck, and 
incomplete collar bright rufous, shaded into chestnut on abdomen, 
thighs, and crissum. Length of a male from Palawan, 450; wing, 170; 
tail, 270; culmen from base, 39; tarsus, 38. Wing of a female, 170; 
tail, 278; culmen from base, 39; tarsus, 39. 
“In limiting the range of this species to Palawan, Shelley seems to 
have overlooked the fact that it was originally discovered in Balabac by 
Steere. We found it to be quite abundant in the Calamianes Islands, and 
secured numerous specimens there. Usually found in deep forest, occa- 
sionally in second growth. Iris of female yellow; iris of male with outer 
nearly white ring, and inner ring of deep red or brown; bill pea-green ; 
legs and feet leaden gray; nails black; bare skin round eye maroon. 
“Five males from Palawan measure, 461 in length; wing, 164; 
tail, 262; culmen, 40; tarsus, 46; middle toe with claw, 35. Three 
females, length, 472; wing, 164; tail, 268; culmen, 38; tarsus, 39; 
middle toe with claw, 36. Calamianes birds are indistinguishable.”
