634 ON THE OENITHOLOGY OF THE PHILIPPINES. [1878. 



Panay, and Mindanao possessed but one and the same species of Yungipicus. I had had no 

 opportunity of examining an example from any one of the Philippine Islands. Since then 

 Mr. Everett has sent me examples of a species of the genus from Luzon ; and these I identified 

 (P. Z. S. 1877, p. 689) [antea, p. 515] with P. maculatus, rather than create a new title, while 

 their dimensions were too small for P. validirostris, Blyth. The birds from Zamboanga differ 

 specifically from the Luzon species. They are larger ; the uropygium and upper tail-coverts are 

 unspotted tawny white ; and the rectrices are tawny buff banded with dark brown, and not dark 

 brown for the most part, as in the Luzon bird, with narrow albescent bands or marks. In both, 

 the lower throat and upper breast are spotted, and not streaked, as in Y.fuscoalhidus of the Sunda 

 Islands and Malacca. Until typical examples of P. maculatus from Panay are compared, it 

 cannot be affirmed whether the type of P. maculatus belongs to the Luzon or the Mindanao 

 species, or whether it may not be a species distinct from either. In the meantime I adopt Blyth's 

 title, the dimensions he gives being exactly those of the Zamboanga species : — bill to forehead 

 0-75; wing 3-25. 



I may mention that Y. aurantiiventris, Salvador!, is an excellent species, quite distinct from 

 Y. fuscoalbidus.

I have not been able to compare the Zamboanga birds with the Basilan type ; but the
