Hab. Guimaras, in March (Meyer). 



Both examples are of males in full black plumage. Mr. Swinhoe (Ibis, 1870, p. 233) 

 seems to regard the Chinese species, U. maculata (Gm.), as distinct from the Philip- 

 pines, and moreover separates the Hainan form from the Chinese, and identifies it with 

 the Himalayan. 



The Guimaras examples have the plumage black shaded mth green and not with blue. 

 I add the principal dimensions (in inches) of six known species of the group, taken from 

 males in adult black plumage.
