7. Cinnyris sperata (L.) (op. eit). 



8. Jole viindorensis Steere = /. schinackerl Haiti. {I.e.). Both names appeared 

 in 1890, mine in the part of the J^. f. 0. dated April, which, however, was not 

 issued, I believe, before October. Steere's paper is dated July 14th, and did probably 

 come out in that month, in which case /. mindorenais is the name we have to 

 adopt. 



9. Sarcops calvus (L.). Exactly like Luzon examples. 

 *U). Lanius nasutus Scop. (op. cit). 



11. Gmucalus mindorensis (i^teere) (op. cit.'). 

 *12. Pericrocotus cinere^is Lafr. (op), cit.). 



13. Hypothymis azurea (Bodd.) (op. cit.). 



14. Tluiponax mindorensis Steere (op. oil.). 



*1.3. Iijiiyipicus validirostris Blyth. Several specimens perfectly agreeing with 

 others from Luzon. Messrs. Bourns & Worcester (p. 52) speak of this species as the 

 '• Luzon-^Iarinduque-]\Iindoro bird," so I sujipose they ha\e also specimens from 

 Mindoro, but in their list of additional localities for known species it is not 

 mentioned. 



l(i. Eurystoriids orientalis (L.) (oi). cit.). 



17. Penelopides mindwensis Steere (op. cit.). 



18. Xantholaema haevuUocephala (Miill.) (op. cit.). The specimens from 

 Mindoro are iu every respect similar to those from Luzon, which likewise belong to 

 the darker insular form. 



19. Centropiis mindorensis (Steere_) (op. cit.). 6 ad. "Iris chocolate-brown; 

 bill black ; legs blackish grey " (A. E.). 



20. Prionitiiras mindorensis Steere (op. eit.). 



21. Loric'uhis tnindorensis Uteere (op. cit.). A fine series. The young 7/t«/e is 

 like the adult female. 



*22. Accipiter numillcusis (Meyen). A not fully adult 'nude had the " legs 

 chrome ; iris dark brown ; cere deep orange ; claws brown." 

 *23. Spizaetus limnaetiis (Horsf.). 



24. Sjiilwnis holosjjilus (Vig.) (ojj. cit.). 



25. Elumis hypoleucas Gould, (op. cit.). 



*2fi. Circits coerw/inosics (L.) (cf. (jrant. Ibis, 1895, p. 438). 



*27. Circles spilonotns Kaup. ]5esides the well-established species V. aerwji- 

 nosus, spiloiiolns, and melanoleucus, there was described by Steere a (J. philippineiusis 

 from Mindanao, Guimaras, and Luzon, which was considered to probably belong to 

 C. melanoleucus by Messrs. Gurney. Everett, and Eagle Clarke. Grant (Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 437) also holds strongly that it is the. female of C. melanoleucus. Messrs. Bourns 

 & Worcester " provisionally adopt Steere's title " because they found " a single 

 female" " most nearly agreeing with Dr. Steere's description." It is remarkable that 

 none of the American collectors record C. nidunoleacas and (.'. spilouotus, and this 

 alone gives room for doubts about C philippinensis being distinct. It seems to me 

 that Steere's description agrees fairly well with an immature plumage of C. spilouotus, 

 and it will be difficult to decidi> finally aboul the identity of Steere's supposed 

 species without seeing the type, as that author neglectcil to give any measurements 

 whatever. 



*28. Butastar indicus (Gm.). 



*29. Falco peregrinus L. A true Peregrine Falcon, not F. ernesti of Sharpe, 

 which also occurs on the I'hilippines (Grant, Ibis, 1895, p. 438). On the label:
