the whole of the Philippines, as it is very common further 

 south, in the island of Borneo, during the northern winter.

Merula chry solans (Temm.). (Grant, Ibis, 1895, p. 445.) 

 A few specimens of this Thrush were met with on the 



summit of Monte Data mingling with flocks of T. obscurus. 



This migrant from Japan and Siberia has hitherto been 



recorded only from Luzon. 



Iris dark brown; bill brown, edged with yellow; legs 



pinkish brown.

This Blackbird is common on Monte Dulungan in Min- 

 doro, after an altitude of 4000 feet is passed, and is probably 

 found as high as 8000 feet, which is about the approximate 

 height of this mountain. The highest point reached by me 

 was 6000 feet, where the sjjecies was still to be met with. 

 It frequented the thick dark forest in this rainy region. A.t 

 the time of our visit (November) many of the young were 

 moulting to their adult plumage. I have now met with 

 Blackbirds in several tropical islands, but though the species 

 bear little resemblance to each other when adult, the habits 

 of those species found in Java, Borneo, and the Philippines 

 differ little from those of our well-known garden- friend. 



Iris dark-brown ; orbital skin greenish yellow ; bill king's 

 yellow ; legs in front yellowish brown, the back, soles of the 

 feet, and scale-joints being bright yellow. 



92. TuRDUs NiGRORUM Grant, Ibis, 1898, p. 544. 



This dull, uniformlj^-plumaged Tardus was met with near 

 the summit of Canloon volcano, where it was not uncommon. 

 In the month of April we found a nest containing two eggs, 

 which are beautifully figured in this journal (1898, pi. v. 

 figs. 8 & 9). We also found another nest later on in the 

 month containing young, and obtained fully-fledged young 

 during the same month. 



Iris dark brown ; orbital skin bright sulphur-yellow ; bill 

 bright yellow ; feet yellow.
