﻿I have hesitated to add the habitat " Ambonia" to the present species, as I fear that that 

 locality has been erroneously assigned to the specimen in the Philadelphia Museum, as 

 recorded by Mr. Cassin (/. c). 



Nothing has as yet been published concerning the habits of this beautiful little King- 

 fisher, but they are doubtless similar to those of the other members of the genus Ceyx. The 

 figure in the opposite plate is drawn from a very fine specimen from Manilla, kindly lent 

 me by Mr. Gould, and I have taken the description and measurements from the same bird.
