INHABITING THE PHILIPPmE AECHIPELAGO. 191 



Luzon individuals diflPer from those inhabiting Java, Malacca, Sumatra, the islands of 

 Madura, Lombock (P. analis, Horsf.), and Banjarmassing (P. gourdini, G. R. Gray, ex 

 Hombr. & Jacq. Voy. Pole Sud, pi. 14. fig. 1) in being smaller, with a weaker bill, 

 and in having the ear-coverts and sides of the head dark brown, and not white or 

 albescent brown. The Banjarmassing race is not separable from Ixos analis.

Hah. Manilla {Eydoux & Gervais). 



Lesson (/. c.) adopted the title of occipitalis, Temm., for an example of this species iu 

 the Paris Museum, said to have been brought by vSonnerat from Manilla. Temminck, 

 on being applied to by Eydoux and Gervais, denied having ever named the species. 

 On comparing a bird brought by them from Manilla, Eydoux and Gervais found it to 

 agree with the individual in the Paris Museum, and adopted the title of occipitalis. 

 If the Philippine habitat of this well-known Chinese form had rested solely on the 

 locality inscribed on the Paris-Museum label, I should have felt disinclined to trust it ; 

 but Eydoux and Gervais's statement that they obtained a similar bird at Manilla 

 seems a sufficient authority for its admission here.

Hab. Luzon (Meyer). 



A well-marked species, combining the crested head and general characters of an 

 Otocompisa with the pufly plumage of Brachypus eujptilosus, J. & S. 



Turdus (Criniffer) gularis, Horsf., is stated by Mr. Blyth (Ibis, 1865, p. 48) to be 

 found in the Philippines. But Dr. O. Finsch (J. f. O. 1867, p. 15) observes that Java 

 is the only locality it is known, with certainty, to inhabit.
