Ptilopus leclaneheri, Salvad. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genov. (18/6) vol. 

 ix. p. 199. 



Hab. Philippines, Luzon, and Guimaras (Meyer). 



This species was first described by Bonaparte (I. c.) as Trerolcema 

 leclaneheri. The type is a female, and resembles in a great degree 

 the specimen described by Lord Walden (I. e.) from Guimaras, 

 brought by Meyer, and called, in Lord Walden's memoir on Philippine 

 birds, Leucotreron gironieri. The type was brought to Paris by 

 M. Leclancher, who was attached as surgeon to the expedition of the 

 ' Favourite ;' but no locality whatever was given to the specimen ; so 

 that of New Guinea, furnished by Bonaparte (I. c), is erroneous. 

 Messrs. J. Verreaux and Ues Murs redescribed the species in ' The Ibis' 

 (I. c.) as Leucotreron gironieri, their specimen being also a female or 

 possibly a young male, bearing, however, a very close resemblance to 

 Bonaparte's type. Schlegel (I. c.) also described a young bird of 

 the same species as Ptilopus hugonianus. All these names must be- 

 come synonyms of that given by Bonaparte. 



Male. Head, neck, and upper part of the breast ashy white, 

 washed on the nape with pale green ; chin and throat black. A broad 

 d.irk purple band crosses the breast just below the white. Flanks 

 and underparts ashy green. Under tail-coverts cinnamon. Upper 

 parts bright green. Wings green ; primaries and secondaries black 

 on inner webs, dark green on the outer, all edged with yellowish 

 white. Tail bright green, with a terminal light-yellow band. Bill 

 yellowish ; feet red. Total length 9^ inches, wing 6, tail 4, 

 culmen £. 



Female. Head and breast ashy white, nape pale green. Throat 

 and chin black. A purplish band on the breast, which does not ex- 

 tend across. Rest of underparts and flanks tawny ashy green. 

 Under tail-coverts chestnut. Upper parts and tail as in the male 

 described above. (From type of Tr. leclaneheri, Paris Museum.)
