236 A'ISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIEDS 



Grvs, sp., V. Martens, J. f. O. 1866, p. 27, no. 148. 



If we may rely on Camel, and also on Buzeta, the Philippines are inhabited by 

 members of both the Ciconiidje and the Gruidee. No other author has confirmed the 

 statement (cf. v. Martens, I. c).

Hab. Manilla {Meyen). 



Separated from the European species by Meyen, chiefly on account of its greater 

 size. 



Ardea longicollis, Meyen, Nov. Act. Ac. C. L.C. Nat. Cur. xvi. suppl. prim. p. 104, 

 " Philippines " (1834), has never been identified. If not a distinct species, it probably 

 belongs to one of the races of Ardea alba, not to //. garzetta, as assigned by Mr. G. 

 R. Gray in the Hand-list, no. 1013.

Dr. von Martens [1. c.) identified a species of Heron, contained in the Military library 

 at Manilla, with Ardea bilineata, Cuv. This title Pucheran has shown (I. c.) to have 

 been bestowed on Javan examples of a species identical with the Indian Yellow-necked 

 Heron.
