166 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS 



Vieillot bestowed the title above quoted on an individual preserved in Temminck's 

 collection, said to be from the Moluccas, and which up to that time had not been 

 described. Bonaparte (/. c.) identified the individual thus named with B. sulcatum. 

 Vieillot's description leaves it to be inferred that the tail is black, and in that respect 

 does not agree with the male or female of this Philippine Hornbill. 



Temminck (I. c.) includes the Marianne archipelago within the range of this species — 

 a statement which is contradicted by Quoy and Gaimard (Ann. Sc. Nat. vi. p. 150, note), 

 who affirm from their own observation, that no species of Buceros inhabits those 

 islands. In his sketch of the genus (Recueil d'Ois. 36° livr.) Temminck only assigns 

 the Philippines as the habitat. And Schlegel (I. c.) mentions that Temminck's type, 

 still existing at Leyden, came from Mindanao, which is also the origin of the example 

 in the British Museum. 



The female difi'ers from the male in having the whole body-plumage black.

Hah. Island of Guimaras, March {Meyer) ; Panay [Sonnerat). 



Sonnerat, during his visit to the island of Panay in the beginning of the year 1772, 

 obtained examples, male and female, of a small Hornbill, which he brought to Paris. 



This species he described and figured [1. c). The description and figure of the male 

 (female according to Sonnerat, pi. 83) are correct ; but the description of the female 

 (pi. 82) is erroneous in so far that Sonnerat states that the breast and abdomen are 

 coloured alike in both sexes. This error is also to be found represented in the plate 

 (82)' ; and I am unable to offer a satisfactory explanation. D'Aubenton figured 

 (/. r.) both sexes correctly ; but, curiously enough, Bufibn (/. c), instead of giving an 



' Le Vaillant (I. c.) remarks that the figure of the female (pi. 83) is absolutely nothing but that of the male, 

 couuter-di'awn line for line and reversed. Even if this ho true, it does not account for the erroneous de- 

 scription given in the letterpress. Le VaiUant figures (I. e.) and describes both sexes with sufficient accuracy.
