I have now, however, ascertained beyond doubt that the 

 specimen in question is Pericrocotus novus of Major Wardlaw 

 Eamsay, who says : "An apparently undescribed species of 

 Pericrocotus, of the P. flammeus group, obtained in the 

 province of Isabella in Northern Luzon, was in the collection. 

 The specimen was a male, but unfortunately it was lost in 

 going through the post to Dr. R. B. Sharpe. I omitted to take 

 a description of it previous to sending it ; but, as I have no 

 doubt in my own mind of the distinctness of the species, I 

 do not hesitate to bestow on it the title of Pericrocotus novus. 

 It belongs to the P. flammeus group, and is most nearly 

 allied to P. exul of Java.^^ 



The present collection contains no additional specimens 

 of this Flycatcher, though Isabella is the locality where the 

 type was obtained. 



ZosTERORNis sTRiATus, sp. u. (Plate IV. fig. 1 .) 



Zosterornis striatus, Grant, Bull. B. O. C. iv. no. xx. p. ii 

 (1894). 



Male and female adult. In general appearance this new 

 species resembles Mixornis niontana, Sharpe, from Mt. Kina 

 Balu, but it is readily recognizable as forming a second species 

 of the genus Zosterorriis (see Ibis, 1894, p. 510) by the shape 

 of the nostrils and the peculiar ring of white feathers which 

 surrounds the eye, as well as by the absence of rufous-brown 

 or dark chestnut on the wings so characteristic of the genus 

 Mixornis. 



The general colour of the upper parts is dull olive, tinged 

 with brownish on the upper tail-coverts ; quills dark brown, 

 edged on the outer web with olive and on the inner with 

 yellowish white. A' marked ring of white plumes surrounds 

 the eye ; lores and fore part of cheeks whitish, tinged with 

 yellow ; a well-marked black eyebrow stripe from the nostril 

 to the posterior margin of the orbit, and a second less distinct 

 band below the eye ; hind cheek and ear-coverts dull olive 

 like the crown ; chin and throat uniform white, tinged with 

 yellow and bordered on either side by a black malar stripe ; 

 rest of the underparts yellowish white, each feather with a
