Among a number of fine birdskins collected bj- Mr. Everett at Laguna de Bay, 

 not far from Manila, on Luzon, in January last, are, besides many more or less common 

 Luzon s^iecies, two of the species recently discovered by ^Ir. Whitehead in that island, 

 but far from Manila — namely : 



Cinnyris excellens Grant 

 and Zosterops luzonica Grant, 

 and of other rarities Anthreptea griseigularia (as mentioned before) and Prionochilus 

 inexpedatus Hartt. 



• It may be added liere that the Rothschild Mnsenm possesses a true Falco crnetti (compared witli the 

 tjpe), shot by native hunters in Mortliern Dutch New (Juinea. a fact which .•id<ls another locality for that 

 species, now known from Borneo, Luzon, Kew Hebrides, and New Guinea.
