To these must be added Butastur indicus, Haliaetus leucogaster, and 

 Fidct, peregrinus, recorded by Whitehead in his Field Xotes 1 on Phil- 

 ippine Birds. During our stay we observed 22 additional species, bring- 

 ing the number of Fuga birds up to 62. 



UNRECORDED BIRDS OBSERVED ON FUGA. 



Gallus gallus. Centropus viridis. 



Streptopeliadussumieri. Corone philippina. 



Chalcophaps indica. Calornis panayensis. 



Charadrius dominicus. Munia jagori. 



^Egialitis peroni. Anthus rufulus. 



Orthoramphus magnirostris. Cinnyris whiteheads 



Demiegretta sacra. Dicfeum pygmaeum. 



Ninox japonica. Otomela lucionensis. 



Eurystomus orientalis. Acanthopneuste borealis. 



Halcyon chloris. Cisticola exilis. 



Meropa bicolor. Hirundo gutturalis. 

 Eudynamis frater. 



All of these are Philippine birds or common migrants, except Eudy- 

 namis frater, which is here described from Calayan, and Hypsipetes 

 fiigensis, which is of an Asiatic genus with representative species in 

 Japan, Loo Choo, and Formosa. The Fuga species is abundant on 

 Calayan. The only other species of interest is Cinnyris whitehead^ 

 now recorded for the first time outside of Luzon. Zoologically Fuga 

 must be classed with Calayan because of the occurrence of the three 

 species mentioned and the absence of all the peculiar Luzon genera. 



CALAYAN. 



Calayan lies about 25 miles north of Fuga and is a little larger than 

 that island. It has a moderately high central ridge of hills. The whole 

 island is covered with heavy forest interspersed with occasional patches 

 of tall "cogon" grass. The natives told me that numerous species of 

 valuable timber trees abound. I know only that the woods are well 

 suited for woodpeckers, hornbills, etc. The absence of such birds was 

 a continual wonder to me. Along the beach just above high water is 

 a belt of large-flowered trees known locally as "butun" — Tagalo name, 

 "by-ac-to-ro." Nothing of value in the way of birds was ever taken in 

 these butun trees except a small hawk, several specimens of which were 

 killed here and nowhere else. Wild guavas are abundant. An inferior 

 variety of banana is planted to a considerable extent, though it can 

 not be said that it is cultivated. Cocoannt trees exist in small patches. 

 Tobacco, corn, rice, and camotes are cultivated in quantities sufficient 

 for local use. I understand that some rice is exported in case of a 

 large crop. I was told that a good quality of cotton is grown, but I 

 did not see any of it. Carabaos and pigs, both of which may have 

 escaped from domestication, appear to be the only wild mammals.
