Birds of the Philippine Islands. 261 



MuNiA BRUNNEicEPs, Wald. ; Sliarpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. 

 xiii. p. 338 (1890). 



Several adult examples of this southern form of M.formo- 

 sana were obtained at both Albay and Catanduanes. This 

 is, no doubt, the bird that Steere calls M. atricajnlla [List 

 Birds Mamm. Philippines, p. 23 (1890)], and records from 

 many of the more southern islands of the group, but it has 

 not previously been got so far north.

 Mus. xiii. p. 363 (1890). 



A single female specimen was shot at Catanduanes. 



Caprimulgus griseatus, G. R. Gray; Hartert, Cat. B.

One example of this rare Goatsucker Avas met with at

 while the markings vary from pale whitish buff to rufous 

 buff, and are very different from the brilliant colouring shown 

 in the plate, which is about as incorrect as it can be.
