A recently described subspecies of stork-billed kingfisher is based upon a male collected by Bartsch in the Island of Masbate. The citation is:

Rhamphalcyon capensis smithi Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909) 36, 466.

This subspecies is said to be intermediate in color between Pelargopsis gouldi and P. gigantea and larger than either of them. The type measures: "Wing, 157 mm.; tail, 96; exposed culmen, 80; tarsus, 17."

I regret that a copy of the fifth and final volume of Sharpe's Hand-List of Birds was received in Manila too late for citation in the Manual.
