236 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS 
Grus, sp., Vv. Martens, J. f. O. 1866, p. 27, no. 148. 
If we may rely on Camel, and also on Buzeta, the Philippines are inhabited by 
members of both the Ciconiide and the Gruide. No other author has confirmed the 
statement (cf. v. Martens, /. c.). 
ARDEID. 
ARDEIN. 
Arpea, Linnzus. 
190. ARDEA PURPUREA. 
Ardea purpurea, Linn. 8. N. 1. p. 236, no. 10 (1766). 
Ardea purpurea, var. manillensis, Meyen, Noy. Act. Ac. C. L.C. Nat. Cur. xvi. suppl. prim. p. 102, 
“ Manilla” (1834). 
Hab. Manilla (Meyen). 
Separated from the European species by Meyen, chiefly on account of its greater 
size. 
Ardea longicollis, Meyen, Noy. Act. Ac. C. L.C. Nat. Cur. xvi. suppl. prim. p. 104, 
“ Philippines” (1854), has never been identified. If not a distinct species, it probably 
belongs to one of the races of Ardea alba, not to H. garzetta, as assigned by Mr. G. 
R. Gray in the Hand-list, no. 1013. 
Arpetta, G. R. Gray. 
191. ARDETTA FLAVICOLLIS. 
Yellow-necked Heron, Latham, Synop. Suppl. p. 239, no. 82, “ India, Oude.”

Ardea flavicollis australis, Schlegel, Mus. Pays-Bas, Ardee, p. 46, “ Australie.” 
Dr. von Martens (/. c.) identified a species of Heron, contained in the Military library 
at Manilla, with Ardea bilineata, Cuv. This title Pucheran has shown (J. ¢.) to have 
been bestowed on Javan examples of a species identical with the Indian Yellow-necked 
Heron.
