HAB. Moluccas, Philippines (BLYTII).
The synonymy of tiiis "bird has "been even more confused than that of its ally, the P.
manilloe, and from the same cause, viz. the supposition that there was only one spccies. Lord
Walden in his paper " on the Birds of the Philippine Islands," gives a iigure of this one, with
correct synonymy and description.
The deep-chestnut tail, with apical black band glossed with green, will always serve to di.stinguish
it from its relative, the P . manillcc. It was first described and figured by Sonnerat, who
confounded the sexes, mistaking the male for female, as the Calao à bec ciselé de l'Isle Panay,
and afterwards by Buffon in the ' Planches Enluminées,' under Sonncrat's name. Boddacrt 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 inhabits.
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
