d. PicARi^ and Psittaci. 



205. Ch^tura picina Tweedd. (Grant, Ibis, 1897, 

 p. 242.) 



Fairly common among the mountains of Northern Leite, 

 but difficult to obtain, owing to the height and pace at which 

 the birds fly, and to the want of open space to shoot at 

 them. 



Iris dark brown ; bill black ; legs lead-grey. 



In Leite, Luzon, and Catanduanes I saw, on several 

 occasions, a large Swift, either C. gigantea or C. celebensis, 

 flying very high. In Negros, on the morning I left Canloon, 

 one of these Swifts was in numbers over a sugar-cane plan- 

 tation that was being harvested. 



206. CoLLocALiA LiNCHi Horsf. & Moore. (Grant, Ibis, 

 1895, p. 462.) 



Met with among the pine-forests of North Luzon at an 

 altitude of 7500 feet. 



The various Swifts found in the Philippines probably occur 

 in all the larger islands, but as they mostly fly at great 

 heights and over country where, if dropped by a shot, it 

 would be next to impossible to find them, the genus is some- 

 what neglected by naturalists. 



207. CoLLocALiA FuciPHAGA (Thuub.) . (Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 461 ; 1896, p. 555.) 



Was obtained at nearly 7000 feet on Monte Data and 

 also in Negros. 



208. CoLLOcALiA TROGLODYTES G. R. Gray. (Grant, Ibis, 

 1897, p. 243.) 



Fairly common in Leite. 



209. CoLLOCALiA WHiTEHEADi Grant, Ibis, 1895, p. 459. 

 Obtained near the summit of Monte Data. 



Iris brown ; bill black ; feet brown.
