Colluricincla woodwardi Hart. 



(Plate I. fig. 2.) 



This interesting new species has been described in JVor. Zool. 190."i, p. 228, 

 and the male is figured on PI. I. 



Gymnorhina tibicen longirostris Milligan. 

 In Nov. Zool. 1905, p. 230, I described as a new subspecies from the 8onth 

 Alligator River a G. t. longirostris. Shortly afterwards I found that Mr. Blilligan 

 had already named a Gymnorhina longirostris {Emu iii. p. 90) as a new species 

 from North-western Australia. From his description it is clear that he described 

 the same bird, which must therefore be called G. t. longirostris Milligan. It is 

 fortunate that I chose the same name, and thus avoided making a new synonym 

 iu spite of my overlooking the prior publication. 



Mirafra javanica pallida Hall. 



(Cf Noc. Zool. 19o:j, p. 237.) 



In the text occurs unfortunately a slip. I have said : " We have also a male 

 from Swan Hill, Victoria, which is ])aler and greyer than typical korsfiehli, very 

 near to grisescens, but not qnite like it." Instead of f/ri.sc.scen.s I meant to say 

 pallida, as there is no such name as ffri.sescens. 



NOTES ON BIRDS FROM THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. 



By ERNST HARTERT, Ph.D. 



(Plate II.) 



PART I. 



WE have in the Tring Museum considerable numbers of birdskins from the 

 Pliiiil)pine Islands, which are not yet worked out. The late William 

 Doherty collected industriously on Basilau and Palawaa ; the first collection made 

 by Mr. Goodfellow on Mount Apo in South Mindanao is preserved in Tring, and also 

 the first set of those collected iu the same districts by Mr. John Waterstradt. We 

 also have some skins collected at Ayala (Mindanao) by an orchid hunter. 



I should have written an account of tliese birds — es])ccially those from 

 Mt. Apo — if I had not been waiting for a second and larger collection from there. 

 Mr. Goodfellow has made such a collection, but it has been sold to the British 

 Museum, and Mr. Ogilvie-Grant has published a full account in the //;/,s for 190(3. 

 I can therefore content myself with short notes on most of these forms, and 

 herewith publish the first of them. The rest will follow in A'oc. Zool. 1907.

 Trichoglossus johnstoniae Hart. 



Trichoglossus johnstoniae Hartert, Bull. B. 0. Club, xiv. p. 10 (l'J03— Mt. Apo) ; Acicullural 

 Magazine 1906, plate. 



This wonderful new parrot was discovered at an elevation of 8000 ft., and it 

 was at similar altitudes that Mr. John Waterstradt and Mr. Goodfellow on his 

 second visit to Mt. Apo collected specimens.
