62. Orthotomus cinereiceps "? 



Orthotomus cinereiceps, Sharpe, Ibis, 1877, p. 113, t. ii. f. 2, " Basilan." 



[Zamboanga, ^, March: iris clay-orange; $ , April.] 



Mr. Sharpe's title is here adopted with doubt for this Zamboanga species of Tailor-bird, 

 because it does not quite agree with the description and figure, and I have not been able to 

 compare it with the type (now in America). 



In the example marked as being of a male, the cheeks, chin, and entire throat are jet-black. 

 In that of the female the chin and upper part of the throat are white, the middle of the breast, 

 the abdomen, and vent are silky white, whereas in the male these parts are bright olive-green. 

 The rectrices of the male are devoid of a subterminal bar ; but in those of the female brown 

 subterminal bars are conspicuous. It is not improbable that the male example with entire throat 

 black is 0. cinereiceps in full breeding-dress. 



63. Orthotomus frontalis. 



Orthotomus frontalis, Sharpe, Ibis, 1877, p. 112, t. ii. f. 1, " Zamboanga."' 



[Zamboanga, <s ? , March and April.] 



The examples noted as belonging to males have no subterminal bar on the rectrices. Those 

 marked as being of females have the subterminal bar well pronounced. 



64. BUDTTES VIKIDIS (114).

Bicceum cinereigulare, Tweeddale, P. Z. S. 1877, p. 829. no. 50, " N. Mindanao." [Antea, 

 p. 555.] 



[Zamboanga, $ , April : iris dark brown ; bill black ; legs very dark grey, nearly black.] 



The female differs from the male in wanting the orange-red interscapular patch, in the 

 abdomen, vent, and under tail-coverts being pure yellow, and in the upper plumage being deeply 

 tinged with olive-green.
