 (£• Worcester, Bartsch) ; Tawi Tawi (Everett). 



Hartert does not give a full description of this bird, but states that the 

 sides of the head are almost as red as with A. rhodolcenia and that 

 the under side is like A. clilorigaster. I have not seen specimens of 

 Anthreptes from any of the Sulu group of islands.

CAGAYAN SULU SUNBIRD.

 Cagayan Sulu (Mearns). 



"This is a slight insular form, most closely related to Anthreptes 

 wiglesworthi (Hartert), from Sulu, P. I., from which it differs in being 

 decidedly yellower below; the sides of the head are more reddish; tlie 

 greater wing-coverts are narrowly edged with olive instead of broadly 

 with ferruginous ; and the bill is smaller. Iris hazel ; bill all black ; 

 feet greenish olive, with under side of toes yellow." {Mearns.) 



* Hartert's remarks on Anthreptes malaccensis wiglesworthi are as follows: 

 "Kopfseiten fast so roth wie bei rhodolaema, Untcrseite wie bei chlorigaster 

 (siehe oben). (Meinem zu friih verstorbenen ornilhologisclien Freunde Wigles- 

 worth gewidmet, der mit A. B. Meyer zusaninien in den 'Birds of Celebes' 

 interessante Notizen fiber diese Gruppe gab.) Sulu Inseln. Typus Tring Museum, 

 Sulu I. V. 'S3, Powell coll. Alle Stiicke von den Sulu Inseln, die ich sah, sind ohne 

 Zweifel zur gleiclien Form zu reehnen."
