Hab. Manilla (Lindsay). 
Professor Schlegel (/.c.) unites Nycticorax crassirostris, Vigors (Voy. Blossom, Zool. 
p- 27, “Bonin isl.” 1839), with WV. manillensis. According to Vigors, it only differs 
from N. caledonicus in the shape of the bill and its colour, and in the wing being 
an inch shorter. With WV. manillensis he makes no comparison. ‘This last does appear 
to differ from NV. caledonicus; but as the type of WV. crassirostris is no longer contained 
in the British Museum, although enumerated in the Hand-list as being extant, I am 
unable to confirm Professor Schlegel’s opinion.
