eludes Prionochilus amongst the Philippine genera, it is only on the 

 strength of a Palawan example of the genus.

This example, iu the plumage of D. retrocinctum, female, apud 

 Gould, is also marked a male, like the one obtained in Cebu by 

 Meyer (/. c.) and by Mr. Everett {anted, p. 698) iu Luzon. Count 

 Salvadori's view (/. c.) that it is not the female of D. retrocinctum, 

 Gould, but a distinct species, is therefore confirmed. I am further 

 inclined to the opinion th.-it D. retrocinctum, if from either island, 

 is from Mindanao and not from Luzon, and that Sonnerat obtained 

 the type of P. papuensis in Luzon and not in Mindanao.

A single example of the genus was obtained by Mr. Everett ; but 

 as it re[)resents a j'oung male before it has assumed its metallic plu- 

 mage, it is impossible to identify it with any certainty. One or two 

 \iolet scapulars are present ; and one of the occipital feathers is also 

 iolet. In A. chlorogastra the head is said to be metallic green. 



49. CORVUS PHILIPPINUS (125).

[Cebu, male and female, April. Iris vermilion-red, bill and feet 

 black.]
