  Specimens 
  from

  Luzon 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  Island 
  of 
  

   Mindanao 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  are 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  

   M. 
  palpebrosus 
  I. 
  Geoff., 
  and 
  with 
  Dr. 
  Mearns' 
  C. 
  mindanensis. 
  The 
  

   M. 
  philippinensis 
  Geoff., 
  in 
  the 
  Paris 
  Museum, 
  has 
  been 
  founded 
  on 
  

   an 
  albino, 
  and 
  is 
  stated 
  to 
  have 
  come 
  from 
  Manila. 
  It 
  must 
  be 
  the 
  

   same 
  as 
  the 
  animal 
  afterwards 
  described 
  as 
  P. 
  palpebrosus, 
  and 
  the 
  

   latter 
  name 
  becomes 
  a 
  synonym.
