496 BIRDS OF TENASSERIM. 



As to manilliensis this is clearly the young of the preceding ; 

 the same small size, cc roseo quam proxime affinis" and therefore 

 this also cannot apply. 



As to pliilippensis, length 4j feet, &c, the name prima facie 

 applies fairty well, and may stand for the present, but I am in- 

 clined to believe that when I deal with this group I shall be 

 able to show that a sti'ong presumption exists that this name 

 really applied to the young of the species which Jerdon identi- 

 fied as javanensis, Horsfield. What this latter really is I hope 

 that my friend Mr. Elliot will ascertain for me. 



If, to return, this be so, then as far as I can make out, Hodg- 

 son's name gangeticus would be the only one available ; and I 

 can find no published description of his, or any thing to indicate 

 certainly to which species this name was intended to apply.
