 316172. Adult male. Romblon Island, Philippine Islands. September 

 1892. Collected by Dean C. Worcester and Frank S. Bourns. Re-

 the Minnesota Academy of Natural Sciences, where it was No. 2699 of 

 the Menage Collection. 

 This name was based upon a series of skins from Romblon and Tablas 

 Islands, and the word "type" appears upon the labels of a male and a female 

 from Tablas, as well as upon that of the bird listed above. In fact, how- 

 ever, Tablas specimens differ in some degree from those of Romblon, as 

 pointed out by Bourns and Worcester, and the same name should not apply 

 to both populations. The authors have themselves inferentially restricted 

 their name to the population of Romblon, by the statement: "It may ulti- 

 mately prove that the Tablas birds are distinct, the four specimens secured 

 by us in that island having a much heavier wash of yellow on the throat 

 than the Romblon birds," and I here definitely restrict the name intermedium 

 to the population of Romblon. It might be argued that all five of the adult 

 males from Romblon are equivalent cotypes, but I list here only Bourns and 

 Worcester's own lectotype.
