18, 5 _ McGregor: Birds of Antique Province 551 
On June 1 a nest containing three heavily incubated eggs was 
found in the hills near Culasi. The shell is smooth and slightly 
glossy; general color pale pinkish buff; dots and irregular spots 
of liver brown, chocolate, and black are most numerous in a zone 
near the larger end; undershell markings numerous. The meas- 
urements in millimeters are 22.2 by 16.0, 22.0 by 15.8, and 21.8 
by 16.1. These eggs do not resemble the figure given by Grant 
and Whitehead. The nest consists of an inner part composed of 
fine grass, surrounded by a large quantity of broad grass leaves 
very loosely put together; the entrance is at one side and is over- 
hung by part of the outer broad-leaf material. The nest is very 
bulky; from back to front it measures at least 25 centimeters 
due to the projecting outer material. As the nest was placed 
in a thick growth of cogon (Imperata) it is considerably com- 
pressed and is only about 7 centimeters thick at right angles to 
the longest diameter. From top to bottom it measures about 
15 centimeters, 
Acanthopneuste borealis (Blasius). 
This widely distributed migrant was noted at Tibiao on May 9. 
Artamus leucorhynchus (Linnzus). 
This swallow shrike was noted at Tibiao and was abundant 
about the plaza in Culasi; it was also seen on Batbatan Island. 
Pardaliparus panayensis Mearns. 
Pardaliparus elegans panayensis MEARNS, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 
51 (1917) 57. 
Although titmice were frequently seen in the vicinity of Tibiao 
and Culasi, only two specimens were Rreserved; one is a female 
in worn plumage, the other is a young, yellow-throated bird of 
the year, 
Mearns reviewed the genus as it exists in the Philippine Is- 
lands and recognized seven subspecies. There is certainly much 
difference between the large pale birds (Pardaliparus edithe 
McGregor), of Calayan Island, at the northern limit of the Phil- 
ippine range of this genus, and the small dark birds of some of 
the southern islands. It will be necessary to have a large series 
of adult birds in fresh plumage before the ranges of the various 
forms can be defined, | 
Callisitta cnochlamys (Sharpe). 
Nuthatches were seen in the mossy a at 1,000 meters’ 
altitude near Culasi.
