an obvious error. Iam not acquainted with this species. It is admitted as perfectly 
distinct by Professor Schlegel. 
Hab. Philippines. 
3. Centrococcyx moluccensis, Cab., ex Bernst. Mus. Hein. iv. p- 113 (1862), “Tinor” 
(Timor 2), 
The types of Bernstein’s MS. title moluccensis, in the Berlin Museum, were from 
Ternate. Is Tinor a misprint for Timor or Tidore? 
Hab. Ternate. 
4, Centrococcyx bengalensis (Gm.), Syst. Nat. ed. 13, i. p, 112 (1788), “ Bengal,” ex 
Brown, pl. 13. 
Corydonix maculatus, Vieill. Enc. Meth. iii. p. 1853 (1823), ex Brown, pl. 18. 
Centropus pygmeus, Hodgs. Gray’s Zool. Misc. p. 85 (1844), “ Nipaul,” 
Centropus viridis, Scop., ap. Blyth, Jerdon, Horsf. & Moore, and Swinhoe. 
The following titles are usually associated with this species:—Polophilus lathami, 
Leach, Zool. Mise. pl. 56, described from a British Museum specimen ; locality unknown. 
The species is undeterminable, Leach’s plate and description being insufficient. 
Centropus rufinus, Cuy. R. An. (1817), p. 426, and Polophilus rufus, Stephens, Gen. 
Zool, Aves, ix. p. 44 (1815), titles founded on Levaillant’s 221st plate (Ois. d’Afr.), 
would take precedence of C. affinis, Horsf., if, as suggested by Professor Sundeyall, 
Levaillant figures the Javan bird (Krit. Framst. p. 48). Dr. Cabanis deems it more 
probable that the “‘ Lesser Indian Coucal” formed the subject of Leyaillant’s plate. 
From the figure it is impossible to decide which of these two opinions is correct; while 
Lyeaillant’s mendacious account only tends to mislead us. 
Hab. Bengal, Mysore, Central India, Burma. 
5. Centrococcyx dimidiatus (Blyth), J. A. S. B, 1842, p. 945, “ Chusan.” 
Centropus lignator, Swinhoe, This, 1861, p. 48, ex Formosa, Amoy, Hong Kong. 
Centropus viridis (Scop.), ap. Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1863, p. 266, “ South China, Formosa ;” Ibis, 1870, 
p. 235, “ Hainan.” 
It is not as yet satisfactorily determined whether the Chinese Lesser Coucal is a 
distinct species—and if not, whether it is the same as (. viridis (Scop.) or C, benga- 
lensis (Gm.). 
Hab. South China, Hainan, Formosa (Swinhoe).
