Although there is a general concurrence of evidence showing that this interesting

The absolute identity of the Philippine with the continental three-toed Kingfisher 
has yet to be established.

Ceyx philippinensis, Gould, P. Z.S. 1868, p. 404, “ vicinity of Manilla; ”” Sharpe, Monogr. pl. 24. 
Hab. Manilla (J. Gould). 
Both Messrs. Sharpe and Gould regard the type individual, the only example that 
has reached England, as distinct from <Alcyone cyanopectus. In deference to their 
opinion it is treated here as a separate species, a position I trust future investigation 
may justify (conf. Salvadori, Atti R. Accad. Sc. Torino, iv. (1869) p. 445).
