Hab. Moluccas, Philippines (Blyth). 



The synonymy of this bird has been even more confused than that of its ally, the P. 

 manillce, and from the same cause, viz. the supposition that there was only one species. Lord 

 Walden in his paper " on the Birds of the Philippine Islands," gives a figure of this one, with 

 correct synonymy and description. 



The deep-chestnut tail, with apical black band glossed with green, will always serve to dis- 

 tinguish it from its relative, the P. manillce. It was first described and figured by Sonnerat, who 

 confounded the sexes, mistaking the male for female, as the Calao a bee cizele de VIsle Panay, 

 and afterwards by Buffon in the ' Planches Enluminees,' under Sonnerat's name. Boddaert gave 

 to this figure the Latin appellation of Buceros panini. It is a very rare species in collections, 

 though lately some good series of specimens have been obtained. 



Of its habits and economy nothing has as yet been recorded by any of those persons who have 

 obtained it in the countries it ii] habits. 



Male. — Casque slightly elevated, deep red in colour, sharply defined on top and ending abruptly 

 anteriorly. Two thirds of the basal portion of the maxilla is covered by a black plate, indented
