GTJILLEMARD'S ARTAMIDES. 



Artamides pollens Guillkmard, Proc. Zool. Soc. (1885), 258. 

 Artamides guillemardi Salvadori, Ibis (1886), 153; Sharpe, Hand-List 

 (1901), 3, 288; McGregor and Worcester, Hand-List (1906), 76.

 and space in front of eye deep black. Tail, about 144. 



Female. — Entire upper and under parts uniform gray as in A. mindo- 

 rensis. Wing, 170; tail, 142. 



In naming this species Salvadori compares it with A. schistaceus 

 from the Sula Islands and does not state in what way it differs from 

 the previously described Philippine species, but the diagnoses given above 

 are sufficient to distinguish it.
