Macronous mindanensis montanus snbsp. nov. 



MOUNTAIN MACRONOUS. Tah-go'-saa or Tah-go-say'-ahn (Bagobo). Tar-man'-op 

 (Moros of Pantar and Lake Lanao). 



Type No. 192,312, U. S. National Museum, from Mount Apo at Todaya 

 (4,000 feet altitude), Mindanao, P. I., July 12, 1904. Adult male. (Original 

 number, 13,728.) 



Adult male and female. — Similar to Macronona mindanenais mindanensis 

 but very much darker, with heavier markings throughout. The dark shaft- 

 streaks are increased in area and intensity; the blackish feathering of the 

 upper side of the head occupies more of the nape ; and the back and rump 

 are Front's brown instead of raw umber. Tiie underparts are dark from 

 tiie throat backward, the tianks being dark Isabella instead of clay color. 

 This mountain form (from Pantar at 2,000 feet and Mt. Apo at 4,000 feet) 

 is slightly smaller than the subsjiecies mindanensis. It is still farther re- 

 moved from Macrenious striaticeps Sharpe from the Island of Basilan. 



^' M((cronus mindanensis" was described by Steere from "Mindanao, 

 Samar, Leyte." As his party did not visit the mountains of the interior of 

 Mindanao it is safe to assume that the paler coast form was the one de- 

 scribed.
