LORICULUS BOURNSI, new species. 
Loriculus regulus Bourns and Worcester, Oc. Papers, Minn. Acad. Nat. 
Sci., I, No. 1, p. 36. Worcester and Bourns, Distribution List, Proc. U. S. 
N. M., XX, p. 557 (part) ; Worcester, id., p. 583. 
Type—No. 4462, male, Philippine Museum; Sibuyan Island, 
Philippines, June 13, 1904; McGregor et aliz. Wing, 3.82 inches; 
tail, 1.80; culmen, from front margin of cere, 0.54. 
Specific characters.—Related to L. regulus but male distinguished 
by the smaller orange crown patch and weaker nucal band. I am 
inclined to think that the red breast patch averages smaller in 
bournst, but I do not care to offer this as a reliable character. The 
female is indistinguishable from the female of regulus. 
No. 4358, male, from Romblon, has a peculiar feather in one 
wing which is worth noting. The outer web of fifth primary is 
lemon yellow for a distance of an inch and a quarter while the inner 
web is white for about the same distance. 
In the last paper cited above Worcester says: “And I ought to 
state here that in the large series of Loriculus regulus obtained in 
Tablas, Romblon, and Sibuyan not a single male was found with 
as much orange on the head as is shown by Panay specimens in 
good plumage.” This observation is confirmed by a comparison 
of seven males in the present collection from Romblon and Sibuyan 
with specimens of Loriculus from Ticao and Masbate. Untortu- 
nately we have no birds from Panay, but Masbate birds were iden- 
tified as regulus by Bourns and Worcester and are no doubt typical. 
The species is named for Dr. Frank $8. Bourns in recognition 
of his work on Philippine ornithology during two trips to these 
islands as a member of the Steere Expedition and of the Menage 
Expedition. 
XANTHOLMMA ROSEUM Dumont. 
A single specimen from Romblon is the first recorded from that 
island.
