marila), not previously recorded from the Philippines, are 

 noticed, and in the fourth the presence oi Rhabdornis inornata 

 in Mindanao. 



Mr. McGregor in his fifth paper gives us some more 

 information about the great Monkey-eating Eagle of the 

 Philippines {Pithecojjhaya jefferyi). Two more specimens 

 have been secured in Mindanao and one in Luzon. Next 

 follow notes on the birds of Cebu, which has no less than 10 

 peculiar species, and is pronounced to be the most anomalous 

 island of the archipelago. 



In the seventh paper the author discusses the birds of 

 Bantayan Island, collected by himself and his assistants in 

 1906, and. refers them to 66 species. They shew that this 

 island belongs to the group of the Central Philippines and 

 not to Cebu, although the latter island is only eight miles off. 



The Island of Bohol, of which the birds are discussed in 

 the eighth paper, was visited by Mr. McGregor and his 

 assistants in 1906, when valuable collections were made. The 

 result of their examination confirms Mr. Worcester's prior 

 opinion that its Avifauna is allied to that of Leyte, and not 

 to that of Cebu. It is shown that 11 genera characteristic 

 of Bohol are not represented in Cebu, while such as are 

 common to the two islands have well-marked representative 

 species. Mr. McGregor gives a complete list of the birds of 

 Bohol and describes four as new — namely, Phahotreron 

 albifrons, Otus boholensis, Zosterops Iceta, and Eudrepanis 

 decor osa. 



The last paper of the series relates to the birds of Batan, 

 Camiguin, and other small islands north of Luzon. Here 

 many ubiquitous Philippine species (such as Oriolus chinen- 

 sis, Sarcops calvus, and Pycnonotus yoiavier) are wanting and 

 the families Psittacidse, Picidse, Dicseidse, and Nectarinidse 

 are unrepresented. Mr. McGregor gives us lists of the birds 

 of the two largest islands Batan and Camiguin, amongst 

 which are seven species described as new — namely, Spheno- 

 cercus australis, Terpsiphone nigra, Camiguinia personata^ 

 Hypsipetes camiguinensis , Hyloterpe illex, Zosterops batanis, 

 and Z. meyleri. Camiguinia is a new genus of Flycatchers 

 allied to Cyanomyias.
