Eggs and young were collected as follows : 



April 8 : One egg from oviduct of bird, 1.08 by 0.81. 



April 27: Two eggs, incubation slight, 1.12 by 0.80 and 1.11 

 by 0.81. 



May 2: Two eggs, incubation slight, 1.05 by 0.77 and 1.06 

 by 0.80. 



May 5 : Two young birds. 



May 6 : Two eggs, incubation slight, 1.15 by 0.81 and 1.10 

 by 0.78. 



Leucotreron occipitalis Bp. 



Several specimens of this dove in full plumage were obtained in 

 the heavy forest near Balete. 



Muscadivora^ aenea (Linn.). 



This fruit pigeon was not uncommon at various points along the 

 river. Great numbers spent each night in two large balete trees 

 near our camp, coming shortly before sundown and filling their 

 crops with balete fruits before settling to rest for the night. Grant - 

 gives the name of the Mindoro variety as Carpophaga chalyhtira Bp., 

 and this may be correct, but as I have not worked out the varieties 

 of this species I prefer to refer them all to cenea for the present. 



Ptilocolpa carola Bp. 



Xumerous specimens which were examined do not differ from 

 the ones taken in Luzon, but one male agrees with the Sibuyan 

 males in having the gray patch on the fore-breast much darker than 

 is usual with the Luzon skins. In specimens from Sibuyan we 

 find what is perhaps a tendency toward the ISTegros bird described 

 by Whitehead as P. nigrorum, in which the fore-breast is black. 

 It would be interesting to compare birds from Negros, Sibuyan, and 

 Luzon. 



Zonophaps poliocephala (Hartl.). 



This species was found only in the highest trees and usually in 

 the deep forest; it was never observed associated in numbers. 

 Several skins from Mindoro do not differ from those of our series 

 taken in Sibuyan. 



^Carpophaga 8elby (1S.35) is preoccupied by Carpophaga Billberg (1S2S) 

 for a genus of cuckoos. Tlie next available name is Muscadivora Schlegel.
