518 ON THE ORNITHOLOGY OF THE PHILIPPINES. [1877. 



Mr. Sharpe (t. c. p. 309) identifies a Cataguan example of this genus in the British Museum 

 with P. panini. If the identification and locality are correct, both species inhabit the island of 

 Luzon. 



26. Lanius nasutus (70). 



[San Mateo, a, 6 : iris orange-brown ; bill, legs, and nails black, b, c? : iris pale orange- 

 brown ; bill, legs, and claws black, c, 2 : iris warm brown ; biU and legs black.] 



The four examples sent by Mr. Everett are in mature plumage. They are difiicult to 

 separate from the grey-backed form of India, L. nigriceps. The only apparent difi"erence is, 

 that in the Luzon bird the rufous of the uropygium and upper tail-coverts is not so bright, and 

 that the grey on the back extends lower down. Dimensions about equal. 



27. L.^'ius LUcioi^fENSis (72). 



[San Mateo, a, <S: iris dark-brown; bill purplish leaden; legs dark bluish grey; claws 

 black, h, <3 : iris dark brown ; bill purplish leaden ; legs bluish ; claws dark brown, c, ? : iris 

 dark brown ; legs dark lead ; claws black ; bill purplish brown.] 



The two examples marked 2 have the cheek-stripe brown, not black ; and the pectoral 

 feathers and upper tail-coverts are edged with brown. 



28. Aetamus leucoehtnchus (73). 



[San Mateo, a, <i: iris dark brown; bill whitish blue, tipped black; legs darkest lead- 

 grey, b, <? : iris chocolate ; bill pale bluish ; feet and claws black, c, d : iris dark brown ; bill
