INHABITING THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO. 225 



Hemipodius fasciatus^ Temm. Pig. & Gallin. iii. pp. 634, 757, "Philippines" (1815), 

 was described from a single example, stated on its label to be from the Philippines. 

 Later Temminck (Receuil d'Ois. 10" livr. 1823) in his monographic sketch of the 

 genus Hemipodius, omitted this title altogether, but added to the Javan habitat of his 

 jff. pugnax, as first described (Pig. et Gall.), that of the Philippines as well as Sumatra. 

 Beyond this there seems to be no evidence of a second species of Turnix inhabiting 

 the Philippines ; and it may be taken that //. fasciatus is the same species as H. imgnax. 



ROLLULID^. 



RoLLULUS, Bonnaterre. 



157. * ROLLULTJS sp. 



Cryptonyx, sp. v. Martens, J. f. O. 1866^ p. 25, no. 141. 



" Above red-brown ; underneath black. No crest, nor nail on the hallux." Dr. v. 

 Martens thus describes a bird of this genus he observed in the collection of the Military 

 Library at Manilla. 



MEGAPODIID^. 



Megapodius, Quoy et Gaimard. 



158. Megapodius ctmingi. 



Megapodius rufipes, Temm., G. R. Gray {lapsu cal.), List of Birds, Brit. Mus. Gallinte, p. 21, 



" Manilla " (1844) , nee Temm. 

 Megapodius cumingii, Dillwyn, P. Z. S. 1851, p. 118, pi. 39, " Labuan, Philippines ; " G. E. Gray, 



P. Z. S. 1861, p. 290, no. 11 ; v. Martens, J. f. O. 1866, p. 26. 

 Described from Labuan individuals, and identified by Mr. Dillwyn as identical with 

 the species obtained in the Philippines by Mr. Cuming. A recomparison is, however, 

 desirable. 



A species of Bustard, described and figured by Sonnerat under the title of le Paon 

 muvage de Visle de Lu^on (Voy. Nouv. Guin. p. 85, pi. 49), and said by him to occur 

 also at the Cape of Good Hope, is clearly not a Philippine species. It, however, is a 

 well-known South- African Bustard, of which the following is the synonymy : — 

 Charadrius cristatus, Scop. Del. Fl. Faun. Insub. ii. p. 93, no. 82 (1788), ex Sonu. ; Schlegel, 



Mus. Pays-Bas, Cursores, p. 8 ; G. R. Gray, Hand-list, no. 9919.
