Horornis minuta (Swinh.), Sharpe, Hand List Bds., IV, p. 236. 

 Cettia minuta Seebohm, Cat. Bds., V, p. 141. 



Four specimens from Calavan are closely related to this species, but 

 without other specimens I can not make a positive identification. 



Chimarrhornis bicolor Grant; McGregor, Bull. Phil. Mus., No. 3, 

 p. 12. 



In my last paper I noted a pair of this rare species. My native 

 hunters, who remained in Benguet for some time after my return to 

 Manila, brought down two additional specimens. An adult male was 

 taken June 22. The plumage of the other is worth noting, as it is a 

 young male of the year. 



No. 2900, Irimn, Benguet, June 9, 1903. — The plumage is dark slate, 

 almost dead black, a little paler on abdomen ; wing coverts and feathers 

 of lower parts tipped with gray ; tail and wings are new and like those 

 of the adult. Xew adult plumage shows in a few new feathers on head, 

 back, breast, and abdomen. 



Cisticola exilis (Vigs. and Horsf.). 



Occurs on both islands visited. On Fuga it was found in dry, grassy 

 fields and killed in small guava bushes. On Calavan it is confined to 

 the rice fields and is known by the name "tic-tic-ru-bo," the first half 

 of which is probably derived from its song. 



Turdus pallidus Gm. ; Sharpe, Hand List Bds., IV, p. 138. 

 Merula pallida Seebohm, Cat. Bds., V, p. 274. 



One specimen from Calayan agrees fairly well with a single skin from 

 the market at Nagasaki, Japan. The species is at once distinguished 

 by the pale breast and flanks and the broad white tips of outer tail 

 feathers. 



Turdus CHRYSOLAUS Temiii. ; Sharpe, Hand List Bds., IV, p. 139. 



Merula chrysolaus Seebohm, Cat. Bds., V, p. 275. 



First observed November 28, when one of my hunters managed to 

 mangle a specimen. After this date numbers were seen, usually in 

 guavas and other thick brush. Extremely wild, so that only a dozen 

 or so were secured. Known to the natives as "pir-pi-ru-ca." 



Turdus obscurus Gm. ; Sharpe, Hand List Bds., IV, p. 140. 

 Merula obscura Seebohm, Cat. Bds., V, p. 273. 

 But two specimens of this paler species were killed on Calayan. 



Petrophila manilla Bodd. 



In Calayan this species is fairly common about town, perching on 

 stone walls, fences, or buildings. 



Calliope calliope (Pall.). 



Calayan is the first island where we have found this species. On 

 November 8 our first specimen was taken in a trap by a native boy. A 

 few days later it became abundant. In the early morning and for a
