178 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS 



Volvocivora that was among some Philippine birds sent to him by Mr. Swinhoe to 

 examine. I am unable to identify it ; and Mr. Blyth bestowed no title. 



VoLvocivoBA, Hodgson. 



75. * Volvocivora (\) c^rtjlescens. (PL XXX. fig. 2.) 



Ceblepyris cantlescens, B\yth, J. A. S.B. 1842, ^. 463, 2 vel <i jnv., " Lugoma.;" op. cH. 1846,

Hah. Luzon, January {Meyer). 



Dr. Meyer procured one example only of this anomalous form. It is in full black 

 plumage and labelled a male. I am uncertain under which Graucaline genus to class 

 this species. Mr. Blyth (/. c.) has remarked that it " might be regarded as the type of 

 a new division." 



That gentleman (Ibis, 1866, p. 368) has stated that his type is the female of 

 C. aterrima. I have failed to discover the name of the author of this title and Mr. 

 Blyth is unable to inform me who bestowed it.

Hob. Luzon (■«. Martens). 



Feathers of the uropygium spinous ; otherwise a true Lalage. The diagnosis of L. 

 uropygialis, Bp., applies well to this species ; but the spinous character of the uropygial 

 feathers is not mentioned. On the stand of the specimen in the British Museum 

 Bonaparte's title is inscribed, although that name is altogether ignored in the 'Hand-list,'
