18, 5 McGregor: Birds of Antique Province 539 
have taken an entire day to cut a trail, and precipitous slopes 
on each side prevented going around the grass so I reluctantly 
returned to Flores. 
We planned to climb the mountain from the south, but very 
rainy weather prevented the attempt. 
On June 18 we visited Maralison Island, where we noted birds 
of the following species: 
Streptopelia dussumieri. Hirundo javanica. 
Demigretta sacra. Cisticola exilis. 
Halcyon chloris. Cyrtostomus jugularis. 
On June 24 we visited Batbatan Island, where we were storm- 
bound for five days by almost continuous rain and wind. On 
July 1 we were able to return to Culasi. Birds of the following 
species were noted on Batbatan Island: 
Streptopelia dussumieri. Cisticola exilis. 
Sterna boreotis. Artamus leucorhynchus. 
Charadrius fulvus. Cyrtostomus jugularis. 
Demigretta sacra. Anthus rufulus. 
Fregata aquila ? Oriolus acrorhynchus. 
Centropus javanicus. Lamprocorax panayensis. 
Rhipidura nigritorquis. 
During July we were able to do very little work because of 
almost continuous bad weather. The,only steamer on the coast 
was stormbound at Lipata Point for a week, and travel by land 
was out of the question because of the numerous rivers. 
In Flores, the only good collecting locality that we found, 
Wwe were unable to do more than three days’ work, and our 
collections from Antique are therefore not very satisfactory. 
The following species collected or seen by us are believed to be 
unrecorded from Panay: 
Porphyrio pulverulentus. Tyto longimembris. 
Tachybaptus philippensis. Caprimulgus manillensis. 
Charadrius fulvus. Collocalia marginata. 
“i gialitis peroni. Xantholema roseum. 
Heteractitis brevipes. Hirundo striolata. 
Heteropygia acuminata. Muscicapula westermanni, 
Fregata aquila ? Copsychus mindanensis. 
Elanus hypoleucus. Kittacincla superciliaris. 
Ninox philippensis. Budytes leucostriatus. 
The ornis of Panay is fairly well known and is practically 
the same as that of Negros. The only important difference is 
that Phapitreron maculipectus, Oriolus steeri, Athopyga bonita, 
Dasycrotapha speciosa, Halcyon moseleyi, Brachypteryx brun-
