[Cebu, male, April. Iris light blue-green, h. Female. Iris blue-green; bill lead-grey, 

 base dark-red ; feet greenish-grey, nails grey.] 



In the adult female the cap is pure grey as in male. In the younger female the crown is

 separated from Luzon individuals.

61. TURNIX NIGRESCENS, n. sp. 



[Cebu, female, April. Iris yellowish white, bill chrome-yellow, legs chrome-yellow, feet 

 tinged with green.] 



AVhile T. fasciata of Luzon chiefly differs from T. 2}'"gnn^', ex Java, in its smaller 

 dimensions and its broad uniform rufous nape, this Zebu bird somewhat exceeds T. pugnax in 

 size, and is readily differentiated by the ground-colour of the crown, back, and uropygium being 

 blackish brown instead of rufous. Like T. fasciata it also possesses a broad rufous nuchal 

 collar.
