1877.] THE ISLAND OF MINDANAO (N.E.). 549 



This single example, sent by Mr. Everett, is not in full attire. Brown predominates on tlae 

 head, each feather being narrowly margined with creamy white. The under surface is buffy 

 white, most intense on the abdomen and under tail-coverts, while the under wing-coverts and 

 the axillaries and flanks are rich ruddy buff. Culmen 3-12, wing 5'88. 



17. Ceyx argentata. 



Cei/x argentata, Tweeddale, Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 4, vol. xx. p. 533, "Dinagat" (De- 

 cember 1, 1877). [Postea, p. 561.] 



[Placer, d , July.] 



Mr. Everett obtained two examples both marked d' , which differ in some respects from tlie 

 type, which is a female. The dorsal plumage, as well as the upper tail-coverts, are snow-white, 

 unmixed with blue or bluish green. The black of the flanks and breast is washed with dark .'^^,':j"' 

 green and not with blue. The dimensions are also less. Wing 2'25. 



18. Entomobia gularis (44). 

 [Surigao, d 2 , May ; Placer, d , July.] 



19. Sauropatis chloris (47). 

 [Mouth of Butuan river, d , May. b. Surigao, ? .] 



20. Xanthol^ma h^macephala (50). 

 [Surigao, 2 , May ; Placer, ? (young), July.] 



21. Macropteryx comatus (52). 



[Placer, d 2 , July.] 

 Wing 5T2. 



22. COLLOCALIA TROGLODYTES (53). 



[Placer, 2 , Jnly. Iris and legs dark brown ; bill black.] 

 The sexes do not differ. 



23. SURNICULUS VELUTINUS. 



Surniculus vehitinus, Sharpe *, Tr. L. S. ser. 2, Zool. i. p. 320. 



[Butuan, 2 , May. Iris dark chocolate-brown, bill and claws black ; feet blue-grey.] 



24. EUDYNAMIS MINDANENSIS (61). 



[Butuan, d , May. Iris bright crimson; bill greenish grey; feet darker greenish grey.] 

 These and Malanipa individuals (P.Z.S. 1877, p. 543 f) have been compared and are identical, 

 and the dimensions are about equal. The type, however, in all probability came from south- 

 west Mindanao. 



* Mr. Sharpe has obliged me by comparing this Butuan example with the type,
