INHABITING THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO. Ug 
Luzon individuals differ from those inhabiting Java, Malacca, Sumatra, the islands of 
Madura, Lombock (P. analis, Horsf.), and Banjarmassing (P. gourdini, G. R. Gray, ex 
Hombr. & Jacq. Voy. Péle Sud, pl. 14. fig. 1) in being smaller, with a weaker bill, 
and in having the ear-coverts and sides of the head dark brown, and not white or 
albescent brown. The Banjarmassing race is not separable from Jos analis.

Hab. Manilla (Eydoux & Gervais). 
Lesson (/. c.) adopted the title of occipitalis, Temm., for an example of this species in 
the Paris Museum, said to have been brought by Sonnerat from Manilla. Temminck, 
on being applied to by Eydoux and Gervais, denied having ever named the species. 
On comparing a bird brought by them from Manilla, Eydoux and Gervais found it to 
agree with the individual in the Paris Museum, and adopted the title of occipitalis. 
If the Philippine habitat of this well-known Chinese form had rested solely on the 
locality inscribed on the Paris-Museum label, I should have felt disinclined to trust it ; 
but Eydoux and Gervais’s statement that they obtained a similar bird at Manilla 
seems a sufficient authority for its admission here.

Hab. Luzon (Meyer). 
A well-marked species, combining the crested head and general characters of an 
Otocompsa with the puffy plumage of Brachypus euptilosus, J. & S. 
Turdus (Criniger) gularis, Horsf., is stated by Mr. Blyth (Ibis, 1865, p. 48) to be 
found in the Philippines. But Dr. O. Finsch (J. f. O. 1867, p. 15) observes that Java 
is the only locality it is known, with certainty, to inhabit.
