This cuckoo may he Cuculus liimalayanus, which has recently
been shot in Labuan by Governor Ussher; but it is difficult to
decide without seeing a specimen. At present the species is only
known from the plate and description given by Peale, who procured
it on the island of Mangsi.

The receipt of three more specimens from Mr. Burbidge convinces
me that the Sulu Islands bird, which I thought was a race
of 0. frontalis, Wall., from the Sula Islands, is not really specifically
separable from the common oriole of the Philippines, called by me
Oriolus chinensis, and by Lord Tweeddale Broderipus acrorhynchus.
A further comparison of the series seems to show that 0. frontalis
of Wallace, from the Sula Islands, is scarcely to be distinguished
from 0. chinensis, the only difference being the slightly greater
extent of yellow on the tail-feathers in the latter bird.
