bill from anterior margin of nostril, 17.5; tarsus, 25; middle toe with 

 claw, about 25.5." {Mearns.) 



Five males measure as follows: Wing, 124 to 129; tail, 116 to 123; 

 culmen from base, 30 to 32; bill from nostril, 18 to 19; tarsus, 22 to 25. 



Other than the size there appears to me to be no appreciable difference 

 between H. fugensis and H. hatanensis. The Batan red-eared bulbul is 

 very abundant in Batan Island where it was found breeding in May and 

 June. The eggs are salmon-pink, spotted with shades of umber-brown. 

 Six eggs measure from 30.2 to 32.7 mm. in length and from 20 to 22 

 mm. in width. 



477. HYPSIPETES CAMIGUINENSIS McGregor. 



CAMIGUIN RED-EARED BULBUL. 



Hypsipetes camiguinensis McGregob, Phil. Jour. Sci. (1907), 2, sec. A, 347. 

 Camiguin N. {Worcester, McGregor) . 



Diagnosis. — Similar to H. fugensis and to H. hatanensis but larger; 

 bill and tail longer; flanks less rufescent. Male, type: Length in flesh, 

 295; wing, 136; tail, 124; culmen from base, 33; bill from anterior 

 margin of nostril, 21; tarsus, 25. 



The specimens of Hypsipetes obtained in Camiguin Island are in such 

 poor condition that it is impossible to give color characters, but I believe 

 adults in good plumage will be found to differ considerably from both 

 H. fugensis and H. hatanensis. 



Genus lOLE Blyth, 1844. 



This genus differs from Hypsipetes in having longer rictal bristles, 

 the longest being decidedly more than one-half as long as the tarsus, and 

 in having the nuchal hairs more strongly developed. The three yellow 

 plumaged species, lole striaticeps, everetti, and haynaldi, approach 

 Criniger {=^Tric}iophorus) both in color and in the development of 

 nuchal hairs, but in the latter genus the bill is relatively shorter and the 

 culmen is more curved. 



Species. 



a}. Under parts bright yellow or strongly tinged with yellow; nuchal hairs longer. 

 6^. Above olive-brown with whitish shaft-streaks; below ashy white with a strong 



tinge of yellow striaticeps (p. 505) 



fe^ Above olive-yellow with darker shaft-streaks; under parts mostly bright 

 yellow. 

 c\ Larger; above brighter and clearer olive-yellow; under parts brighter. 



everetti (p. 506) 

 c*. Smaller; above duller olive-yellow; under parts not so bright.
