1878.] THE ISLAND OF MINDANAO (S.W.). 635 



female agrees well with Mr. Sharpe's description and plate. A second example (sex unrecorded) 

 differs in having the whole under surface pure white. 



24. Calialcton coromanda (46). 



[Zamboanga, ? , March.] 



The discovery of this species by Mr. Everett at Zamboanga removes all doubts of its being 

 an inhabitant of the Philippines. 



25. ACTENOIDES HOMBRONI (48). 



[Zamboanga, c? , April : iris brown ; bill orange-red ; the culmen blackish ; feet dirty 

 greenish orange.] 



In the perfectly adult male the crescentic pectoral markings disappear. 



26. Xanthol^ma h^macephala (50). 

 [Zamboanga, <3 , March and April.] 



27. Macroptertx comatus (52). 

 [Zamboanga, d , April.] 



28. Centura picina, sp. n. (Plate LIX. in orig.) 



[Zamboanga, $ , April.] 



Black with a blue gloss, greenish in some lights. Chin, throat, and larger under wing- 

 coverts pure white. Wing 6-37; tail 1 '25. 



29. Ltncornis mindanensis, sp. n. 



[Zamboanga, <s , April : iris warm brown ; feet purplish brown.] 



Typical L. macrotis (ex Luzon) has the crown, forehead, ear-tufts, and nape rufous brown, 

 of almost the same shade as in L. temmincki. The three examples of the species of Lijncornis 

 which inhabits the vicinity of Zamboanga, sent by Mr. Everett, differ from L. macrotis by having 

 the crown, nape, forehead, and ear-tufts dark greyish-brown, and not rufous, by all the browns 

 of the plumage being much darker, and by the wing being shorter. Wing 9"90. 



30. Caprimulgus majntillensis (55). 



[Zamboanga, 2 , April.] 



Compared by Mr. Sharpe with the type. 



31. Batrachostomus septimus.
