Motacilla ocularis Swinh. 



The specimen recorded from Lubang (Bull. Phil. Mus., No. 3, p. 10) 

 is a young female in first winter plumage with the crown like the back 

 and the white frontal band just indicated. We now have a female from 

 Calayan in second winter plumage, killed October 10. In this specimen 

 the black forms a narrow crescent on the breast. 



Motacilla melanope Pall. 



Common along the streams of Calayan. Sometimes found about 

 towns. 



Motacilla flava Linn. 



Usually in flocks in clearings or open grassy spots. Taken on Calayan. 



LlMONIDROMUS INDICUS (Gill.). 



A female specimen from Calayan October 7. Measurements: Wing, 

 3.10; tail, 2.80; exposed culmeii, 0.50; tarsus, 0.86. Balabac appears to 

 be the only previous Philippine record for this species. 



Anthus gustavi Swinh. 



Specimens from Calayan, where it is not common. Found only in 

 woods or thickets and never in flocks. Among our birds from Ticao I 

 find a specimen of this species in fresh spring plumage. It was killed 

 April 30. Omitted from list in Bulletin No. 1. 



Anthus maculatus Hodgs. 



A single male in fresh fall plumage was taken November 19 on Cala- 

 yan. This specimen is more strongly olive above and the spots below 

 are heavier than in April specimens from Benguet, Luzon. The spotted 

 pipit has been recorded from Palawan and Luzon. 



Anthus rufulus Vieill. 



Specimens taken on Fuga and Calayan. 



Anthus cervinus (Pall.). 



This species has been recorded from Balabac, Luzon, and Mindanao. 

 We now have a large series from Calayan, showing all stages of fall 

 plumage. Some of these lack any trace of the fawn color and others 

 have the color covering the whole side of the face and extending well 

 onto the breast. Red-throated pipits were first detected November 3, but 

 were probably present much earlier. They were found invariably in 

 small flocks near town, squatting low in the short grass or feeding on 

 refuse thrown out from the houses, where they perhaps picked up bits 

 of meat and rice. 

 Cinnyris whiteheadi Grant. 



Abundant on both islands visited. During September found feeding 

 in the bananas and cocoanuts and difficult to kill. Later, however, with 

 the flowering of various small bushes, this fine species was found to be 

 abundant and numbers were obtained without trouble. Calayan and
