156 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS 



(Entomobia), sp., above brown, with pale spots; underneath white, with grey spots. 

 Back of the head and on each side a spot at gape, azure blue. Cheeks and throat red 

 brown. Forehead brown, striated with black. Allied to J. pulchella, Horsf." 

 This may possibly be J. hombroni in immature plumage. 



49. * ACTENOIDES LINDSATI. 



Dacelo lindsayi, Vigors, P. Z. S. 1831, p. 97, adult, "neighbourhood of Manilla ; " Sharpe, Monogr. 



pi. 114; Eydoux & Sovileyet, Voy. Bonite, pi. 7 ; Gray & Mitch. Genera of Birds, pi. 27. 

 Dacelo lessoni, Vigors, /. c, junior. 



Hab. Luzon {Eydoux & SouJeyet). 



This and the last species, together with Dacelo concreta, Temm., form a natural sub- 

 division ; and I retain for it Hombron's generic title of Actenoides, merged by Mr. 

 Sharpe in the unwieldy group he has united under the generic name of Halcyon. 



Mr. Sharpe (torn, cit.) enumerates thirteen Philippine Kingfishers. I have reduced 

 this number to twelve by the exclusion of E. smyrnensis. Satisfactory proof of the 

 Philippine habitat of two others, C. coromanda and E. pileata, is still needed ; and the 

 specific validity of Ctyx jphilippensis has yet to be confirmed.
