398 On Birds collected in the Philippine Islands. 



mandible rosy red ; lower maadible pale pinkish red ; feet 

 olive-brown. 



274. Tanygnathus everetti Tweedd. (Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 116; 1896, p. 562.) 



This Parrot may prove to have a much wider distribution 

 in the Philippines than is at present known, our discovery 

 of the bird in North Luzon being a mere chance. At a 

 distance it so closely resembles the common T. luconensis 

 that one does not like to keep continually shooting at Tany- 

 gnathi in the hopes of obtaining a specimen now and then. 



cJ . Iris orange; bill rosy red; feet dull olive-brown. 



? . Iris orange; bill creamy white; feet dull olive-brown. 



275. BoLBOPsiTTACus LUNULATUs (Scop.). (Graut, Ibis, 

 1894, p. 410 ; 1895, p. 467 ; 1896, p. 124.) 



This curious little Parrot is apparently confined to Luzon, 

 where it is by no means rare ; it is generally met with in 

 neglected clearings and low forest. 



276. BoLBOPsiTTACus iNTERMEDius (Salvad.). (Grant, 

 Ibis, 1897, p. 248.) 



This species closely resembles the preceding, but the blue 

 on the face and collar is always darker ; in Samar and Leite 

 it is common, inhabiting localities that are open. 



277. LoRicuLUs PHiLippENSis (P. L. S. Miiller). (Grant, 

 Ibis, 1894, pp. 410, 521 ; 1895, p. 264; 1896, p. 124.) 



Loriculus is one of the most interesting Philippine genera, 

 being found throughout the entire group, but differing in 

 the various islands sufiiciently to require no less than eight 

 very distinct species to be formed of it. 



L. philippensis "was common in Luzon and obtained in 

 Benguet at an altitude of 4000 feet. It is somewhat 

 remarkable that no species of Loriculus inhabits the Palawan 

 group, considering that the genus also occurs to the south 

 in Borneo. 



278. Loriculus mindorensis Steere. (Grant, Ibis, 1896, 

 p. 476.) 



Obtained by us in Mindoro.
