P.Z.S.J878, Contributions to the Ornithology of the Philipimies. — No. VII. On the Collection made hy Mr. A. 

 ^' ' ■ H. Everett in the Island of Panaon. By Arthur, Marquis of Tweeddale, F.R.S., President 



of the Society. [From the ' Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London,' read 

 April 2, 1878*.] 



The small collection, of which it is proposed to give an account, was made by Mr. Everett at San 

 Francisco, on the west coast of the small island of Panaon. This island is situated to the south* 

 east of Leyte, from which it is separated by a narrow channel. Nor is its southern extremity 

 distant from the most northerly part of Mindanao. 



The number of species obtained is too small to permit me to draw any general conclusions 

 as to the affinities of its omis. But the occurrence of the Leyte species of Biiceros and 

 Thriponax, B. semigaleatus and T. jjectoralis, rather than those of Mindanao, indicates a closer 

 aflSnity to the northern than to the southern island. 



Panaon has never hitherto been visited by an ornithological collector.
