“L. worcesteri is scarce about Catbalogan, and as there are no coconut groves near the town, we had great trouble in securing a good series of specimens, being less fortunate in this respect than was the Steere Expedition. Measurements from two males: Wing, 91; tail, 43; culmen, 15; tarsus, 10; middle toe with claw, 18. Iris dark brown; legs and feet orange; bill red; nails black.” (Bourns and Worcester MS.)
