462 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie Grant on the 



Java. The latter lias the tarsi invariably feathered, and 

 this peculiarity is to be seen in birds from Borneo, the 

 Philippines, New Guinea, &c.; but, so far as our specimens 

 can be trusted, there is no trace of feathering on the tarsi 

 of birds from Celebes, and the feathers do not appear to have 

 been worn off (though of course this may have been the 

 case). In size these Celebean birds are rather small, the wing 

 varying from 4<"3 inches to 4*4 ; the upper parts are smoky 

 brownish black, with a slight olive gloss, and in this respect 

 perfectly similar to those obtained in the Assam hills, the 

 Philippines, New Guinea, Borneo, and Java, all of which 

 I consider typical C. fuciphaga, a form which, so far as I 

 know, is never found in Southern India.

A pair of Linch\s White- breasted Swiftlet was shot in the 

 highlands of Lepanto in the month of February; this is the 

 first time that this species has been recorded from the Philip- 

 pine Islands with certainty, Tweeddale mentions a specimen 

 in the Darmstadt Museum collected by Herr v. Othberg, 

 and said to have been obtained in Luzon, which he records 

 under the name of C. fuciphaga (Thunb.), informing us at 

 the same time that " it is not separable from the Javan 

 species, C. linchi, H. & M. — that is, the true C fuciphaga of 

 Thunberg.^'

An adult male of the Manilla Nightjar obtained in the 

 highlands of Lepanto bears out my remarks in a former 

 number of ^ The Ibis,^ quoted above, having only the terminal 

 portion of the inner webs of the outermost pair of tail-feathers 

 white. 



79. Caprimulgus griseatus, G. R. Gray ; Grant, Ibis, 



1895, p. 261. 



Several more examples of this rare Nightjar have now 

 been obtained ; they are perfectly similar to the type in 

 markings and plumage, the general tone being grey in all.
