An adult male heron taken at Tinabog, January 23, agrees very well with 
the description of the great slaty heron given by Oates in his Birds of British 
Burmah, II, page 244. Total length of specimen in the flesh, 53 inches; wing, 
19.25; tail, 6.75; tarsus, 6.50; culmen, 7.10.

Prioniturus cyaneiceps Sharpe. 
Twelve specimens of the blue-headed racket-tailed parrot were taken at Puerto 
Princesa in December and January. The females in this series have the 
feathers of the chin, and to a less extent of the throat and breast, matted 
with a resinous gum, which injuries their appearance as specimens; the males 
are practically clean and in smooth plumage. 
Tanygnathus lucionensis (Linn.). 
A female from Puerto Princesa. 
Pelargopsis gouldi Sharpe. 
Three specimens from Tinabog, Palawan, have been compared with a male

belong to the species described as P. gouldi.

Caprimulgus macrurus Horsf. 
Six specimens of this goat sucker were killed in Palawan: during January and 
February; three are from Puerto Princesa and three from Tinabog. 
Caprimulgus jotaka Temm. and Schl. 
Bourns and Worcester obtained a specimen of this species in Palawan and 
one was collected by me in Calayan; the present collection contains the third 
known Philipppine specimen, a female from Puerto Princesa, December 29. 
This specimen differs from the one from Calayan in having a greater number 
_ of bars on primaries and rectrices; the measurements of the two are equal.
