41. Harpactes ardens (Temm.) ; Grant, Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mus. xvii. p. 487 (1892). 



Mr. Whitehead has sent home some splendid specimens 

 of the Philippine Trogon, and among them two quite young 

 examples, one being marked a male ; both resemble the female 

 adult, onli/ differing in having the bars on the wing-coverts 

 and secondaries coarser. Bill black, only the ridge and tip 

 of the culmeu yellowish. 



42. MicRosTiCTUs FUNEBRis (Valcnc.) J Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 262. 



A very fine old male of this black Woodpecker from Engano, 

 with the sides of the head unusually bright deep carmine. 



43. Iyngipicus validirostris, Blyth ; Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 465. 



A female of the Luzon Pigmy Woodpecker from Engano. 



44. Lepidogrammus cumingi (Eraser) ; Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 466. 



Two females of the Curl-crested Cuckoo from Eugaiio. 

 One, an immature bird, has the shining blue-black wax- 

 like ends to the feathers of the crest and throat much nar- 

 rower and more elongate than in the adult, and the white 

 subterminal spots on the crest-feathers are absent. 



45. Dasylophus suPERCiLiosus (Cuv.); Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 262. 



A pair of the Crimson Eye-browed Cuckoo from Engano. 



46. Eudynamys, sp. inc. 



Mr. Whitehead obtained an adult male bird of this genus 

 on the island of Fuga. It resembles the male of E. minda- 

 nensis (Linn.), but is considerably larger; unfortunately no 

 female was obtained, so it is impossible to say whether the 

 Fuga bird is distinct or not.
