VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS 



Carpophaga insularis, Blyth, apparently peculiar to the Nicobars, is a perfectly 

 distinct species, allied to C. perspicillata. 



Longitudo 



Carpophaga perspicillata, (Temm.) PL Col. 246, was described from the Philippines 

 and the Moluccas. Professor Schlegel (Nederd. Tijdschr. Dierk. 1866, p. 195) doubts 

 the correctness of the Philippine habitat, and confines the range to the Halmaheira 

 group of islands and the island of Bouru. The allied form, Carpophaga neglecta, Schl., 

 I. c, occurs only in Ceram, Amboyna, and the island of Boano.
