I]. FURTHER NOTES ON BIRDS FROM TICAO, CUYO, 
CULION, CALAYAN, LUBANG, AND LUZON. 
By RicHarp C. McGrecor. 
In this paper I propose to offer notes on a few specimens whose 
proper identification has been delayed through lack either of neces- 
sary literature or of typical specimens, and to describe such of 
the rarer nests and eges as are now in our collections. 
PorzANA PLUMBEA Gray. 
Porzana tabuensis SHARPE, Cat. Bds., XXIII, p. 111 (pt.). 
Porzana plumbea Suarre, Hand-List, I, p. 102. 
The only Philippine record of this rail rests upon a juvenile 
bird taken in Luzon by Maitland-Heriot and contained in the 
Tweeddale collection, whence it passed to the British Museum. 
It gives me pleasure to record the species as of not uncommon 
occurrence in thé vicinity of Manila. Our specimens were pur- 
chased in Quinta Market, Manila, where they were brought by 
natives from towns along the bay shore. The natives of Paranaque 
are especially active in snaring small birds, for which they find a 
ready sale in Manila. Our specimens of the plumbeous rail were 
purchased in August and September, 1902, and in September, 1904. 
LIMICOLA PLATYRHYNCHA (Temm.). 
A male and female of this species, identified by Dr Richmond, 
were collected in Cuyo in January, 1903. The other Philippine 
records are Palawan, Bohol, and Negros. 
PENELOPIDES PANINI (Bodd.). 
The Panay hornbill is abundant on Ticao Island, where we 
secured a good series of skins and discovered the eggs. As the 
nesting habits of this genus are but imperfectly known, the follow- 
ing notes may be of interest : 
Nest No. 1: Our first nest was located May 3, 1902, in a tree 
near a small stream. At 10 feet from the ground the tree
