Mr. Blyth (Ibis, 1866, p. 243) extends the range to South China ; but the species is

Dr. V. Martens appears to be the first and only author who has recorded the existence 

 of a Philippine species of the genus Elanus. He identified it with the common African 

 and Indian species. I venture, however, to refer it to the Archipelagic form, E. hyj)o-
