^ Sharpe adopts Alophoncrpes Reiclicnb., rejecting the earlier name Miillcriiticiis 

 because of its bad formation. — McGkegok. 



-Much uncertainty exists as to tlie distriI)ution of tlie Philippine species of the 

 fjenus Thripoiiax. .Sharpe, in liis Mand-Li.st of Birds, includes T. jaociinis 

 {Horsf.) from Luzon, Nejiros, MincUmao, and Basilan; 7'. siiluciisiN IT. Blasius 

 from iSulu; T. pecloralis Tirccdd. from Leyte and Banacm; 7'. philippciisis Htccic 

 from Panay, Guimaras. and Masbate: 7'. iKinjittl Sliarpc from Pahwvan. and 

 T. mindorensis Steere from Mindoro. Tliis arranjiement leaves entirely out of ac- 

 count the Samar bird, which is undoubtedly typical T. pectoralis. as well as the 

 Bongao, Tawi Tawi, and Cebu representatives of the genus. 



Sharpe has himself identified three specimens from Bongao and Tawi Tawi as 

 7'. jarcnsis (Ibis, Apr., 1804, p. 249), and the specimens collected in Tawi Tawi 

 by Bourns and myself were by us referred to this species [Occ. Papers Minnesota 

 Acad., 1, Xo. 1, 1). 3(i ( 1894) 1.
