collected in the Philippine Islands. 109 



its nearest allies in Arses is, I think, open to doubt. It more 

 resembles Terpsiphotie, from which genus it differs in wanting 

 a lengthened pair of centre tail-feathers, which are found only 

 on apparently very old males. 



The genus To'psiphone is found as a migrant as far north 

 as Japan, and will doubtless some day be recorded from 

 Formosa, while Arses is an Australian and Papuan genus. 

 The crest is also like that of Terpsiphone, and not the short 

 velvety-pile-like plumes of Arses. 



70. Rhinomyias ruficauda Sharpe. (Grant, Ibis, 1896, 

 pp. 541, 542; 1897, p. 225.) 



Scarce. Found by us frequenting the tree-forests of 

 Samar and Leite. 



Iris and bill black ; legs pinkish brown. 



71. Rhinomyias albigularis B. & W. (Grant, Ibis, 

 1896, p. 541.) 



Scarce. Met with on the lower slopes of Canloou volcano, 

 Negros. A nest was found on March 31, containing two 

 very Robin-like eggs. (See Ibis, 1898, p. 237.) 



Iris brown ; bill black ; feet pale pinkish cobalt. 



72. Rhinomyias insignis. (Grant, Ibis, 1895, p. 442, 

 pi. xii. fig. 2.) 



We obtained six specimens of this handsome Flycatcher 

 on Monte Data at nearly 8000 feet in January 1895. It 

 frequented the thick, dark, low forest, composed chiefly of 

 evergreen oaks, which covers most of the summit of the 

 mountain. 



Iris brown ; bill black ; feet lead-blue. 



73. Culicicapa hilianthea (Wallace). (Grant, Ibis, 

 1896, p. 542.) 



Culicicapa panayensis (Sharpe). (Grant, Ibis, 1894, p. 506 ; 

 1895, p. 443.) 



This species, better known to Philippine collectors as 

 C. panayensis (Sharpe) , is of wide distribution in the Philip- 

 pines, and doubtless will be met with in all the larger islands. 

 In Palawan it is cornmon in the forest which borders the
