The two following species of Icterid^ are described and figured by Sonnerat, who informs 

 us that they are found at Antigua (Panay), and also on the New Continent. Beyond his 

 statement, there is not a tittle of evidence in favour of their- Philippine habitat.

The occurrence of the Tree-Sparrow in the Philippines, in itself not unlikely, rests solely 

 on the authority of Dr. Cabanis {I. c). 



Passer jugiferus, Temm., Bp. Consp. i. p. 508, " Philippines " (1850), is stated by Mr. Blyth 

 (Ibis, 1870, p. 172) to be the same as his Passer fiaveolus, J. A. S. B. xiii. p. 946, "Arracan" 

 (1844); and he regards its Philippine habitat as dubious.
