Pipra papuensis, Gm. S. N. i. p. 1004. Dicceum rubriventer, Lesson, Tr. p. 303. Dicceum retrocinctum, female, Gould, B. As. xxvii. t.-; cf. Salvad. Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. viii. p. 509. [Cebu, male, April.] This example, in the plumage of D. retrocinctum, female, apud Gould, is also marked a male, like the one obtained in Cebu by Meyer (/. c.) and by Mr. Everett (anted, p. 698) in Luzon. Count Salvadori's view (/. c.) that it is not the female of D. retrocinctum, Gould, but a distinct species, is therefore confirmed. I am further inclined to the opinion that D. retrocinctum, if from either island, is from Mindanao and not from Luzon, and that Sonnerat obtained the type of P. papuensis in Luzon and not in Mindanao. 45.

[Cebu, male, April.] A single example of the genus was obtained by Mr. Everett; but as it represents a young male before it has assumed its metallic plumage, it is impossible to identify it with any certainty. One or two violet scapulars are present; and one of the occipital feathers is also /olet. In A. chlorogastra the head is said to be metallic green. 49. CORVUS PHILIPPINUS (125). [Cebu, male, March.
