Hah. Philippine Islands, {Cuming ; mus. Brit.). 



It is to be regretted that nothing is at present known concerning the habits of this 

 beautiful Kingfisher. All our information consists in the fact that it is an inhabitant of the 

 Philipine Islands. 



The description and figure of the adult bird are taken from a specimen in the British 

 Museum procured at Cataguan by Cuming, those of the young bird from a specimen in my 

 collection.
