592 ON THE OENITHOLOGT OF THE PHILIPPINES. [1878. 



This Negros bird differs from N.-Mindanao, Celebes, and Bangkok (Siam) examples of 

 C. grayi in its smaller dimensions and longer and broader first primary, and in the absence of the 

 pure uniform rufo-fulvous cap. 



The description of C. seminifa. Cab., is too meagre for identification, and no dimensions are 

 stated ; but it is probably the same bird as C. grayi. C. rujiceps, Gould (Sclater, P. Z. S. 1877, 

 p. 98), belongs to C. grayi, the only diS'erence Dr. Brown's example exhibits being the absence 

 of the rufous tinting of the breast and under surface generally.

35. ZOSTEROPS NIGRORUM, n. sp. 



[Valencia, 3 and ? , August.] 



Male and female. Above light olive-green ; whole under plumage light greenish-yellow, 

 almost pure yellow ; closed wing like the back, outer quill-margins paler ; space before the eye 

 almost pure yellow ; axillaries and under wing-coverts very pale yellow ; a narrow black mark 

 margins the white feathers of the underside of the orbit ; rectrices pale brown edged with olive- 

 green. AVing 2-18, tail 1-87, tarsus 0-62, culmen 0-44. 



Closely allied to Z. austcni, Walden, ex Karennee, this Negros species difiers in being of a 

 darker shade of green above and a lighter yellow underneath.
