is much like the one collected in Calayan Island,? but the nape is 
blacker and is followed by a white space on the neck, while the 
mantle and upper wing coverts are pearl gray. The bill, the 
feet, and the claws are black in the dry specimen. 
Anous stolidus (Linnzus). ‘ 
The noddy tern is to be added to the birds known from Luzon 
on the basis of a male collected in Manila Bay, on May 5, 1908, 
by B. Barbaza, a local taxidermist. The specimen is in pale 
brown plumage with slight indications of the gray cap. This 
record is published through the courtesy of Mr. W. Parsons, who 
purchased the specimen from the collector. 
Canutus tenuirostris (Horsfield). 
Among several hundred bird skins obtained by Mr. W. Cameron 
Forbes, during his visit to the Philippine Islands in 1921, was 
a male knot collected in Sitanki on August 22. Sitanki is a 
small island near Sibutu, in the most southern part of the 
Archipelago. 
Lophotriorchis kieneri (Geoffroy St. Hilaire). 
A hawk collected near Badajoz, Tablas Island, on September 
23, 1905, was recorded by me as Lophotriorchis kieneri with an 
interrogation.’ I have thought it worth while to send the speci- 
men to the United States National Museum for further exami- 
nation. Mr. J. H. Riley confirms my determination of it as 
representing an immature plumage of the above species. The 
specimen is No. 11220, male, Bureau of Science collection. 
Spizaétus limneétus (Horsfield). Plates 2 and 38. 
While Col. John R. White was in charge of the penal colony 
in Palawan he secured a living specimen of a large hawk which 
he sent to the Bureau of Science. The bird was received on June 
17, 1908, in good condition. Through the patience and skill of 
Mr. Charles Martin, then photographer in the Bureau of Science, 
Several good negatives showing the bird in various positions 
were secured. Prints from two of these are reproduced. I 
had considered this bird a specimen of Lophotriorchis, but Mr. 
J. H. Riley has identified it as Spizaétus limnxétus. I think no 
previous record of this specimen has been made, so no harm is 
? Philip. Journ. Sci. § D 13 (1918) 3.
