from the vicinity of Manilla. 331 



4. Pyrrhocentor unirufus. 



Pyrrhocentor unirufus, Cab. Mus. Hein. iv. p. 118. 



Pyrrhocentor melanops (Less.), Wald. T. Z. S. viii. p. 66 

 (p. 158) ; id. ibid. ix. p. 164 (p. 330). 



I am inclined to think that this is a distinct species, and 

 not the young of P. melanops, as Lord Walden supposed 

 {I.e.). 



In measurements it certainly agrees with that species, but 

 the single specimen sent appears to have had an apple-green, 

 bill when freshly killed, like a Rhopodijtes. 



5. ExcALFACTORiA cHiNENSis (Linn.). 



Excalfactoria chinensis (L.), Wald. T. Z. S. ix. p. 224 

 (P- 387) . 



The single specimen sent is so badly skinned that it is impos- 

 sible to be quite sure to what species it belongs ; but it appears 

 to agree with specimens from Burmah, Sumatra, Malacca, 

 and Borneo. 



The second collection contained 200 specimens referable 

 to 75 species, of which 23 do not appear in the list of Luzon 

 birds collected by Mr. A. H. Everett (P. Z. S. 1877, pp. 

 686-703) . 



Three species have to be added to my '' Revised List of 

 Philippine Birds,'' Tweedd. Orn. Mem. App. pp. 655-660, 

 viz. : — 



13 a. Falco melanogenys. 



88 a. HiERococcYx FUGAX (? = 88. i7. joec^ora/^^). 



212 a. Melaniparus semilarvatus. 



I may take this opportunity of mentioning that, in the list 

 above referred to, one species was accidentally omitted, viz. 

 Cinnyris flagrans, Oustalet, from Manilla. Of this species, 

 apparently, only the type specimen (in the Museum of the 

 Jardin des Plantes in Paris) is known ; but, having sent a copy 

 of Capt. Shelley's figure (Mon. Cinn. pi. 47) to Mr. Maitland- 

 Heriot, I hope to obtain additional examples. 



According to Mr. J. H. Gurney, No. 18, Accipiter steven- 

 soni, should be expunged, and Accipiter nisoides, Blyth, and
