Birds of Balabac and Pdldwan. 23 



In the following list those species which were first recorded 

 by Dr. Steere are distinguished by an asterisk. 



I. Phylloscopus bouealis (Bias.), 



*2. MONTICOL.V SOLITARIUS (P. L. S. MUll.). 



*3. CiTTociNCLA NIGRA, Sliarpe. 

 All immature female shot in Balabac has the sides and 

 flanks strongly washed with ferruginous, the black plumage 

 of the lower breast being very faintly washed with the same 

 hue. The thigh-plumes are warm sepia-brown. A Palawan 

 male, nearly adult and having the rectrices much worn, has 

 the secondaries broadly margined on the external webs with 

 ferruginous red, so that the wing, when closed, exhibits a 

 conspicuous rusty-red band. Some of the upper wing- 

 coverts and the shoulder-plumes are similarly margined or 

 spotted; and on each side of the head, just above and below 

 the distal extremity of the ear-coverts, there are small 

 defined patches of the same reddish colour. 



4. Orthotomus ruficeps (Less.). 



5. MOTACILLA FLAVA, L. 



6. MOTACILLA MELANOPE, Pall. 



7. MOTACILLA OCULARIS, SwiuhoC.
