The majority of the Philippine shrikes of this genus have the under parts 
marked with dusky cross vermiculations, indeed it is very unusual to find an 
individual entirely free from these markings. 
Hyloterpe winchelli Bourns & Worcester. 
Twelve specimens of Winchell’s thickhead. 
Diczeum intermedium Bourns & Worcester. 
An extensive series of this little flower pecker from Badajos. Bourns 
and Worcester * suggested the possibility that the Romblon bird might 
prove to be distinct from those of Tablas, but I find no points in which 
birds from the two islands differ; the heavier vellow wash on the throat 
of some of the Tablas specimens is probably due to immaturity. The 
young of D. intermedium does not differ from that of D. sibuyanicum, 
already described by me.® 
Birds in immature plumage were taken from August 15 to September 19. The 
first indications of the adult plumage is a small patch of orange feathers on 
middle of breast. No. 10749 g, Bureau of Science collection, taken at Badajos, 
Tablas, September 5, 1905, is selected as the type of the young plumage. 
7Ethopyga magnifica Sharpe. 
Six specimens. 
Cinnyris sperata (Linn.). 
An immature male, September 5. 
Anthreptes chlorigaster Sharpe. 
‘Twelve specimens taken at Badajos in August and September are in 
young or moulting plumage. 
Anthus rufulus Vieill. 
Two specimens from Tablas, August and September. 
Munia jagori Martens. 
One specimen. 
Oriolus chinensis Linn. 
A male. 
Chibia menagei Bourns & Worcester. (PI. IV.) 
This very distinct species is represented by a number of skins taken 
in August and September. Unfortunately, the magnificent tail feathers 
are badly worn, this fact greatly injuring the appearance of the 
specimens, 
Sarcops calvus (Linn.). 
Ten specimens. 
Lamprocorax panayensis (NScop.). 
‘Three specimens of the Panay starling.
