In one example {s) the uropygium is deep orange and not yellow.

41. CoRVtJS PHILIPPINUS (125). 

 [Dumaguete, e ? , August.] 



The disproportion between the dimensions of sexes in the Philippine Crow exhibits itself in 

 the Negros examples sent by Mr. Everett, the wing of the male measuring 12 inches, as against 

 11 in the female; culmen of male 2'37, of female 2"12.

[Valencia, s ?, August. Dumaguete, 6 ?," breeding," August.] 



May not Meyen's Fringilla minuta (Walden 133) be M.jagori in first plumage, before the 

 black feathers come in ■? Otherwise it is remarkable that a species stated by Meyen to occur in 

 numberless troops in the Luzon sugar-plantations has not, since he wrote (1834), been recognized. 



45. OSMOTRERON AXILLARIS (136). 



[Valencia, s , August. Dumaguete, ? , August.] 



46. Leucotreron gironieri (137) % 

 [Valencia, <3 , August.] 



A single example of a Pigeon much resembling L. gironieri, of Luzon and Guimaras, and 

 probably representing an immature stage of its dress, is sent by Mr. Everett. It differs from all 

 the phases of plumage described by me (I. c.) in having the throat, breast, and abdomen pale 

 ashy white, much stained pale verdigris-green. The crown and nape rich green like the back. 

 A purple pectoral band is indicated by a few isolated plumes. The first primary is not abruptly 

 attenuated ; but perhaps the attenuated first quill is only produced later. The species has not 

 heretofore been recorded from Negros.
