 Museum. 



(Plate VIII.) 



The contributions to our knowledge of tlie avifauna of the 

 island of Palawan are two in number, viz. : — my own paper 

 on the birds collected by Professor J. B. Steere in the Philip- 

 pine archipelago, published in the ^Transactions of theLinneau 

 Society ' (second series. Zoology, vol. i. pp. 307-355) ; and 

 Lord Tweeddale's account of the collections made by Mr. 

 Everett (P. Z. S. 1878, pp. 611-621). The chief interest 

 attaching to Mr, Lempriere^s collection arises from the fact 

 that it has been made in a portion of the island yet unvisited, 

 and that, as will be seen, it not only contains examples of 

 many of the species discovered by Professor Steere and Mr. 

 Everett, but also brings to our knowledge one or two un- 

 described kinds of birds.
