 Romblon (Bourns d Worcester, McGregor) ; Tablas (Bourns & Worcester, 

 Celestino) . 



Adult. — Entire top of head slate-gray, bases of the feathers olive- 

 brown, the shafts nearly black; chin and throat white, streaked with 

 pale yellow; otherwise very similar to lole siquijorensis. A male 

 measures: Wing, 12G ; tail, 115; ciilmen from base, 32; bill from nostril, 

 '31; tarsus, 22. A female, wing, 122; tail. 111; culmen from base, 30; 

 bill from nostril, 19 ; tarsus, 24. 



"The ashy-headed bulbul occurs in the open, but is far more abundant 

 in the woods. Eleven males from Romblon measure: Length, 288; wing, 

 131; tail, 115; culmen, 35; tarsus, 22; middle toe with claw, 26. Four 

 females from the same localit}', length, 274; wing, 122; tail, 109 ; culmen, 

 33 ; tarsus, 22 ; middle toe with claw, 25. Males and females from 

 Tablas average slightly less in length, but are otherwise identical with 

 liomblon birds. Iris, legs, feet, and nails very dark brown; bill black."

 C'ebu (Bourns d- Worcester, McGregor) . 



Adult. — A'ery similar to lole siqidjorensis but smaller; top of head 

 lighter seal-brown; forehead washed with slate-gray; mantle and back 

 more ruddy; ear-coverts tawny; chin and fore throat almost solid white. 

 A male measures: Wing, 127; tail, 117; culmen from base, 32; bill from 

 nostril, 21; tarsus, 22. 



''lole monticola differs from lole siquijorensis, its nearest ally, in its 

 more ruddy upper surface, its lighter head with a wash of ashy gray 

 on front of crown, in its lighter ear-coverts and tawny throat, and in its 

 lighter under wing- and tail-coverts. So far as our observation goes it 

 is a highland form. It was invariably met with by us in the forest on 

 the tops and sides of the hills in central Cebu and -was never seen in open 

 or flat country." (Bourns and Worcester.) 



"Three males average: Length, 267; wing, 121; tail. 111; culmen, 

 31; tarsus, 22; middle toe with claw, 24. A female measures, 260 in
