On Birds from the Island of Negros. 119 



VIII. — On some Birds from the Island of Negros, Philippines. 

 By W. Eagle Clarke, F.L.S.— Part III.^ 



I AM indebted to Mr. John Maclauchlan, of Dundee, and to 

 Mr. W. A. Keay for the privilege of reporting upon a 

 further collection of birds made by the latter gentleman in 

 Eastern Negros during the winters and early springs of 

 1895-6 and 1896-7. The collection contains examples of 

 a number of species not included in the previous series 

 obtained by Mr. Keay, and also some that are new to the 

 avifauna of Negros. 



The birds numbered are additions to Mr. Keay's collection, 

 and the enumeration is in continuation of the former series. 

 The references quoted are the first records for the occurrence 

 of the species in Negros. 



Some further information is afforded on a few species not 

 new to the collection_, and on others some critical remarks 

 are made.

Two adult males and two young birds of the Philippine 

 Oriole. The adults show very little yellow on the outer web 

 of the inner secondaries. In one of the specimens this colour 

 is reduced to a mere terminal spot. The yellow is generally 

 described as occupying nearly the entire web.
