little value for comparison, but the pale coloration of the throat 
makes it necessary, for the present at least, to refer these Verde 
birds to guimarasensis. The Lubang bulbul has the throat very 
slightly darker than the Luzon bird. 
Steere states that the Mindoro bulbul* has a longer bill than 
Tole philippensis, and Grant claims?’ that the reverse it true. Our 
series show but little difference in the length of bill of the two 
species. The longer tail of mindorensis is a point not mentioned 
by either of the above authors. It is unnecessary, however, to 
study measurements in this case as mindorensis can be recognized 
at a glance by its gray throat and breast.

Hirunpo striotata (Boie); McGregor, Bull. Phil. Mus., No. 4,

Some of our Calayan specimens have been examined by Dr. 
Richmond and he agrees with me that they are not typical of 
striolata. He says: “I think it more likely that your birds are 
migrants from the north, rather than from the direction of Java, 
and thus nearer to japonica than striolata.” Calayan was certainly 
favored with a number of migrants from the north; e. g—
