Bulletins I and II of the Philippine Museum. Bulletin I, on Birds 

 from Luzon, Mindoro, Masbate, Ticao, Cuyo, Culion, Cagayan, Sulu, 

 and Palawan. By Richard C. McGregor. 



"This paper is the first of a proposed series of reports on collec- 

 tions made for the Philippine Museum, an institution established 

 by and act of the Philippine Commission. It summarizes the more 

 important results of: (1) Five weeks' collecting at Mariveles, Ba- 

 taan Province, Luzon; (2) various two-day trips about Manilla; 

 (3) three months in Ticao and Masbate; (4) a hurried visit to the 

 Islands cf Mindoro, Cuyo, Culion, Cagayan Sulu, and Palawan. 



"But one of the species obtained appears to be new. The discov- 

 ery, near Manila, of the males of Grant's two Luzon Orioles and 

 the extension of the range of Cinnyris whiteheadi are most interest- 

 ing." 



"The work has been directed by Commissioner Dean C. Worces- 

 ter, Secretary of the Interior, to whom the author is indebted for 

 the use of books and assistance in many ways." 



Six species new to the Philippines, one wholly new species, 

 and the description of four hitnerto unknown plumages, form the 

 most interesting part of the paper to the general reader. New lo- 

 calities of upwards of 135 species are also given, indicating that a 

 great amount of work is being done in that little known archipelago.
