being many shades deeper. The species that is found in the Pelew Islands I have 
never seen.

Dr. Meyer obtained six examples of this handsome Graucalus, representing three 
distinct phases of plumage. Two have, with the exception of the upper tail-coverts and 
lower feathers on the rump, the whole plumage of a dark plumbeous grey, the lores 
being jet-black. The lower plumage is somewhat paler than the upper, more especially 
that of the ventral region. A few of the upper tail-coverts and rump-feathers are 
fringed with pale grey. This is the fully adult male plumage’ ((. /agunensis, Bp.). 
A third example has the head, neck, back, and breast dark plumbeous grey; but 
1 Montbeillard leaves it to be inferred that this title (involving, as it does, the origin of the type) was bestowed 
by D’Aubenton. 
* This author pretends also to describe the female and the young male; but it is impossible to determine what 
species he describes from. 
3 This title and the accompanying references are omitted in Dr. Hartlaub’s ‘Monograph’ (J.f. 0. 1864, p. 444); 
nor is it included in his valuable index to Pucheran’s papers on the types in the Paris Museum (op. cit. 1855). 
Correctly enough, however, only one species of the true Graucalus is enumerated by Dr. Hartlaub from the 
Philippines. 
4 Dr. Pucheran also states that Lesson’s type came from Luzon. 
5 Tt may also be that of the adult female, it being an unascertained fact whether in both sexes of the large 
Cuckoo-shrikes the adult plumage is the same. One of the two above described is labelled by Dr. Meyer 
a male,” and the other “a female;” but I am not quite sure that implicit confidence can be placed in the 
sexual determinations indicated on Dr. Meyer's labels,
