Hab. Guimaras, in March (Meyer). 
Both examples are of males in full black plumage. Mr. Swinhoe (Ibis, 1870, p. 233) 
seems to regard the Chinese species, EL. maculata (Gm.), as distinct from the Philip- 
pines, and moreover separates the Hainan form from the Chinese, and identifies it with 
the Himalayan. 
The Guimaras examples have the plumage black shaded with green and not with blue. 
I add the principal dimensions (in inches) of six known species of the group, taken from 
males in adult black plumage.
