margined with olive ; rectrices brown, all but the middle pair boldly tipped on the inner webs 

 with white. 



Wing 2-45, tail 1-75, culmen 1-25, tarsus 0-62. 



The discovery of this species by Mr. Everett adds another characteristic Malayan genus to 

 the Philippine avifauna.

38. Calornis panatensis (128). 



[Amparo, d , August; S. Leyte, s 2, September and October, d juv., September: iris 

 brownish ochre-yellow.] 



The young bird is in brown and striated plumage. 



39. Sarcops calvus (129). 



[Amparo, 6 ? , July.] 



These two examples have the whole back, from the nape to the uropygium, and also the 

 scapulars dark brown. This is also the case in my Zebu series, and in some individuals from 

 South Negros. In one Negros example the back is dark bro^^^l, many of the feathers being 

 fringed with various shades of grey. In another the amount of grey and bro\vn on the back is 

 about equal ; and it would seem that the grey colouring on the back belongs to the fully adult 

 bird, and that the nape, uropygium, and upper tail-coverts assume the full grey colouring of the 

 adult before the dorsal plumage commences to turn grey; the Avhole of the upper plumage is 

 brown at the base, the tips alone changing to grey.
