INHABITING THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO. 225 
Hemipodius fasciatus, Temm. Pig. & Gallin. iii. pp. 634, 757, ‘* Philippines” (1815), 
was described from a single example, stated on its label to be from the Philippines. 
Later Temminck (Receuil d’Ois. 10° livr. 1823) in his monographic sketch of the 
genus Hemipodius, omitted this title altogether, but added to the Javan habitat of his 
H. pugnax, as first described (Pig. et Gall.), that of the Philippines as well as Sumatra. 
Beyond this there seems to be no evidence of a second species of Turniv inhabiting 
the Philippines; and it may be taken that 17. fasciatus is the same species as H. pugnav.

* Above red-brown ; underneath black. No crest, nor nail on the hallux.” Dr. y. 
Martens thus describes a bird of this genus he observed in the collection of the Military 
Library at Manilla.

Megapodius cumingii, Dillwyn, P. Z.S. 1851, p. 118, pl. 39, “ Labuan, Philippines ;” G. R. Gray, 
P. Z. S. 1861, p. 290, no. 11; v. Martens, J. f. O. 1866, p. 26. 
Described from Labuan individuals, and identified by Mr. Dillwyn as identical with 
the species obtained in the Philippines by Mr. Cuming. A recomparison is, however, 
desirable. 
A species of Bustard, described and figured by Sonnerat under the title of le Paon 
sauvage de Visle de Lugon (Voy. Nouv. Guin. p. 85, pl. 49), and said by him to occur 
also at the Cape of Good Hope, is clearly not a Philippine species. It, however, is a 
well-known South-African Bustard, of which the following is the synonymy :— 
Charadrius cristatus, Scop. Del. Fl. Faun. Insub. ii. p. 93, no. 82 (1788), ex Sonn.; Schlegel, 
Mus. Pays-Bas, Cursores, p. 8; G. R. Gray, Hand-list, no. 9919.
