This species also approaches the paler P. nipalensis, Hodgs., 

 from the Himalayas, which also has the sexes practically 

 similar in plumage, and shows traces of the white patch 

 behind the eye ; but in the latter species the crown is greyish 

 bi'own, very similar to the rest of the upper parts, and the 

 vent and under tail-coverts are white. 



Adult male. Total length 6'5 inches^ Aving 3*1, tail 2'6, 

 tarsus 0"75. 



Adult female. Total length 62 inches, wing 3"05, tail 2*5, 

 tarsus 0"7. 



Immature examples, as large as their parents^ differ from 

 the adult in having the top of the head brown, darker than 

 the back, and only a few of the black feathers of the cap 

 appearing here and there ; the white patch on the cheeks is 

 not so extensive or well defined, merging gradually into the 

 brownish buff of the sides of the neck.

One male example of the Bald-headed Grackle was got at 

 Lepanto. It has the mantle, like the rest of the upper parts, 

 pure silvery grey, and is another proof that birds found west 

 of longitude 122° belong to the grey-backed form.

This is the first example of this little Weaver-bird that 

 Mr. Whitehead has obtained, though he has now been in the 

 island of Luzon for nearly two years. It is also found, 

 according to Messrs. Bourns and Worcester, in Panay.

was obtained in Lepanto in the month of January.
