Mr. Keay sends a male and two females of this Cuckoo- 

 Shrike. He tells me that this bird is found only in the 

 mountains, where it is fairly common and nests in lofty 

 trees. The native name is " Uliac." Even this slight 

 information may be useful, inasmuch as little appears to be 

 known regarding the habits of this species.

An example of this Ked-breasted Pitta was captured in 

 Mr. Keay's sugar-factory on the 20th of April, 1899. 

 Mr. Keay says that this species is not common in his district

 puc/' Though this bird appears to have a wide range over 

 the islands, it has only been recently discovered in Negros.
