Birds of the Philippine Islands. 125 



A male from the island of Fuga is, however, rather 

 puzzling, the patch on the nape being deep vinaceous grey, 

 intermediate in colour between that of the present species 

 and C. chalybura. The Fuga bird may be a distinct 

 subspecies, but more material is required to settle this 

 question. 



52. Ptilocolpa carola, Bonap. ; Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 117. 



Both sexes of the Grey-breasted Fruit-Pigeon from Engano. 

 The immature female differs from the adult in having the 

 breast and rest of the underparts grey, slightly washed with 

 rufous, instead of chestnut, and the under tail-coverts pale 

 cinnamon edged with giey, not uniform deep chestnut.

 p. 471. 



A young example of the Indian Bronze-winged Dove

 Mus. xxi. p. 585 (1893).

 almost devoid of the fine purple gloss on the feathers of the

An adult female of Cuming's ]\fegapode from Engano 

 and an immature male from Fuga Island. 



56. Amaurornis olivacea (Meyen) ; Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mus. xxiii. p. 153 (1894). 



A somewhat immature female of the Philippine Crake has 

 the chin and throat mixed with white. It is evident from 

 the diagnosis of this species given by Dr. Sharpe in his 

 Catalogue that the MS. containing the first part of the 

 description has, by some accident, slipped out and been lost. 

 We are thus led to believe that the whole plumage of the
