Examples of Jeffery's Sun-bird from Lepanto are perfectly 

 similar to the types from Benguct, the male of which was 

 beautifully figured in the above-mentioned plate.

Mr. Whitehead has now succeeded in obtaining a nice 

 series of this beautiful Sun-bird, of which only a pair were 

 obtained in the second expedition to Benguct, and the imma- 

 ture males and females differ from the female adult in having 

 the upper parts grey instead of olive-green. Young males 

 hav^e the underparts much like those of the female adult, 

 but the scarlet feathers of the lower breast and belly, the 

 metallic feathers on the top of the head, lower back, rump, 

 and upper wing-coverts, as well as the black feathers of 

 the scapulars, wing-coverts, and secondaries, are partially 

 represented.

Having now obtained an additional series of this Sun- 

 bird from Lepanto, which lies immediately to the north of 

 Benguet, I am inclined to believe that the birds on which 

 I founded Cinnyi'is obscurior are in reality merely worn 

 examples of C. juguluris. The Benguet birds are certainly 

 remarkably small and pale in colouring, and, when compared 

 with specimens from Albay district and the island of Catan- 

 duanes, appeared very different, though it must be added 

 that examples from the latter localities were all freshly- 

 moulted specimens. The birds from Lepanto, collected 

 during the month of November, bridge over the differences 

 in size between typical C.jugularis and the types of C. ob- 

 scurior, being also intermediate in colouring, so that on the 

 whole I consider C obscurior to have been founded on rather 

 smaller examples of C.jugularis in worn plumage.
