, fi5. TuRTUR DUSSUMIERI (1-47). 



[Butuau, 2 > ^lay. Iris reddish ; bill grey-black ; feet dull car- 

 mine, b. Surigao, d" , May ; Placer, c? , July.] 



The dimensions of the female are a trifle less than those of the 

 male. In colour and marking there appears to be but little differ- 

 ence, the nuchal collar being perhaps more developed in the male. 



66. Phlog(enas crinigera. 



Pampusanna criniger, Pucheran, Voy. Pole Sud, iii. p. 1 18 (1853), 

 Atlas, t. 27. f. 2 ; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 238. 



Phlogcenas bartletti, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1863, p. 377. t. xxxiv, 

 [Placer, c? , July. Iris brown ; bill black ; legs dull carmine.] 

 The type is stated by Pucheran to have been found in the Sooloo 

 Islands (Soog.). Mr. Sclater, on seeing it at Paris, recognized its 

 identity with his P. bartletti, founded on four living individuals sent 

 to Liverpool and stated to have been brought from an uninhabited 

 island near the Philippines. A full account of these birds, together 

 with delineations of the sternum, is given by Mr. Sclater (/. c). 

 The Sooloo habitat requires confirmation. The bird is a represen- 

 tative form of P. cruenta, but perfectly distinct. The dark claret- 

 coloured patch on the breast replaces the blood-red pectoral plumes 

 of the older known species ; and the feathers of which it is composed 

 are even of a harsher and stiifer texture.
