33. Philentoma ctaniceps (82). 



[Monte Alban. «, d : iris rich dark brown ; bill black ; legs purplish brown, b, 6 : iris 

 crimson ; bill black ; legs and feet brown.] 



34. Leucocerca nigkitorquis (83). 



[San Mateo. d : iris very dark brown ; legs black ; claws black.] 



35. CyORNIS PniLIPPINENSIS. 



Cyornis pMUppinensis, Sharpe, t. c. p. 325. 

 Cyornis ianyumas (84 partim) [antea, p. 347]. 



[Monte Alban. <s : iris dark chocolate-brown ; bill black ; legs light brown.] 

 Pive examples of a species of the genus Cyornis obtained at Monte Alban by Mr. Everett 

 are distinguishable from C. bauyumas, ex Java, by having the abdomen, vent, and under tail- 

 coverts white and not rufous, and the rufous of the breast paler. Above no difference is 

 discernible. A Zebu bird collected by Dr. B. Meyer (t. c. no. 84) differs from the Luzon in 

 being of a darker shade of blue above, especially on the head, and in having the frontal and 

 superciliary feathers and the wing-coverts darker blue. The Luzon examples are not separable 

 from the type of C. philippinensis in the British Museum. 



36. Htpothtmis azurea (85). 



[Monte Alban. a, 6 : iris chocolate-brown ; bill blue, tip black ; ulterior of gape pale 

 yellow-green ; legs lead-blue ; nails black, b, s : iris dark brown ; bill blue, tip black ; legs 

 lead-blue; nails black, c, <S: iris dark brown; bill blackish blue; legs lead-blue, d, ?: iris 

 dark chocolate-brown ; bill and nails black ; legs dark grey.] 



37. BUTALIS MANILLENSIS (86) ^ P.Z.S.1877, 



[Monte Alban. c? : iris dark brown ; legs and claws black ; bill dark vandyke brown, nearly 

 black.] 



A single example of a species of grey Flycatcher is sent by Mr. Everett, which, while 

 resembling i?. griseosticta, Swinh., still cannot be said to belong to that species. It is a larger bird 

 with a wing measuring 3'56. The bill is narrower and longer, more like that of B. grisola. 

 Above the plumage is of a paler purer grey and not grey-brown. The wing-lining and axillaries 

 are grey rather than pale rufous. With doubt I refer this bird to £. manillensis, Bp. ; for he 

 states that the Manilla race is smaller than B. grisola, while this Luzon bird exceeds the European 

 species in its dimensions. Mr. Sharpe {t. c. p. 326) identifies an example obtained in Panay by 

 Dr. Steere with B. gi'iseosticta *. 



38. HiRUNDO GUTTURALIS (88). 



[San Mateo. «, d : iris and feet dark brown, b, 2 : iris brown ; bill, feet, and nails black.] 



* Sinco these remarks were in print, I have had the advantage of perusing M. Oustalet's ohservations on the type 

 specimen of B. maniUensis, Bp., in the Paris Museum (Ois. de la Chine, p. 123), whereby it appears that that gentleman 

 is also of opinion that B. manillensis is distinct from B. griseosticta,
