INHABITING THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO. 155 
To Tanysiptera nympha, G. R. Gray (Ann. Nat. Hist. 1841, p- 237, “ Patr. incert.,” 
described from an imperfect specimen of a New-Guinea Kingfisher), Prince Bonaparte 
(Consp. i. p. 157) erroneously ascribed a Philippine origin; and it consequently found 
a place in Dr. v. Martens’s list (tom. cit. p- 18).

Dr. v. Martens (tom. cit. p. 17, no. 81) describes an example of a Kingfisher he 
observed in the collection of the Military Library of Manilla in these words:—‘Alcedo 
* This species is treated by Mr. Sharpe (Monogr. Alcedinide, pp. xiii, liv) as the type of Entomothera, Horst. 
(Tr. L. Soc. xiii. p. 173, note, 1820). The term Entomothere was used by Dr. Horsfield (for he wrote it in the 
plural only) to indicate his second division of the Linnean genus Alcedo, a section within which he embraced 
A. (Ceyx) tridactyla, A. (Pelargopsis) leucocephala, A. (Calialeyon) coromanda, A. (Sauropatis) chlorocephala, 
and A. (Entomobia) melanoptera. There is nothing contained in Dr. Horsfield’s observations to indicate 4. 
coromanda as the type, or even as typical of, his Entomothere.
