ZOOGEOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 

 FUGA. 



The name Fuga is scarcely known among the natives at Aparri, and 

 on the island itself, as well as on Calayan, Fuga is known as "Babuyan." 

 The round island marked "Babuyan" on the maps and situated about 

 30 miles to the northeast of Calayan is called "Babuyan Claro" by the 

 natives. Off Musa, marked on the map as the only town on Fuga, the 

 anchorage is poor, the ground being very foul. A sandy beach, sheltered 

 by the two small islands Bari and Rigatin (the latter marked "Mabac" 

 on my map), exists at the western end of the island, though there 

 are plenty of hidden rocks here as elsewhere about the island. 



Fuga is a low, scantily wooded island 12 miles long by 4 miles wide, 

 distant about 18 miles from the nearest point of the Luzon coast. Along 

 the shore is a fringe of small trees and brush, while the low, rolling- 

 ground of the interior is covered only with grass and a few stunted 

 guava busbes. The island is of coral formation, and along the northern 

 shore there are evidences of several elevations in steep coral cliffs, the 

 summits of which are 100 feet or more above the present beach. There 

 are no streams on the island. The seven days devoted to Fuga were 

 quite enough to determine the general character of its bird fauna and 

 to secure typical specimens of Hypsipetes fugensis, which were the main 

 objects of our visit. 



The island is scarcely worth a visit, as there is no forest and i'vw 

 birds. Besides the fruit thrush, Cinnyris and Eudynamis are the only 

 birds of interest. Grant records seven species from Fuga. These were 

 collected by Whitehead and are: 



Megapodius cumingi. Endynamis sp. inc. 



Carpophaga nuchalis. Hypsipetes fugensis. 



Accipiter gularis. Oriolus chinensis. 

 Ninox japonica.
