near the beach. The species is described as having “upper parts, 
with wings, neck, and breast golden green.” * In our specimens 
this is true only when the bird is held toward the light. If the 
bird is held away from the light, the upper parts are beautiful 
deep vinous and the wings and breast metallic copper color. ‘The 
length is given as about 13.5 inches; our specimens measured in 
the flesh from 16 to 17 inches. 
A nearly adult female differs from the adult male in having the 
copper color of the back extending onto the middle tail-feathers. 
Color of soft parts in this specimen were: Irides light clay brown; 
bill very dark brown with a small white mark on tip; bare skin 
around eye, dark flesh; legs pale crimson; nails blackish brown. 
The species is now recorded from Romblon Province for the first 
time. 
PTILOCOLPA CAROLA Bp. 
It appears to me that Grant and Whitehead were correct in 
considering P. griseipectus the male and P. carola the female of the 
same species.2, The two forms are found in company, as stated 
by Mr. Whitehead, and I think there can be little doubt that they 
are male and female of one species. It has not been previously 
recorded from Romblon Province. We have males and females 
from Benguet, Luzon, and from Sibuyan. The species occurs in 
the vicinity of Manila also and is occasionally brought into the 
market here alive. 
MyYRISTICIVORA BICOLOR (Scop.). 
One specimen of the “camasu” was taken on Cresta de Gallo. 
The natives say that it occurs in Sibuyan, which is quite probable, 
but we did not see it there nor is there any previous record of 
the species for Romblon Province. 
CoLUMBA GRISEIGULARIS (Wald. and Lay.). 
This beautiful pigeon, which is widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines, is now recorded for the first time from Romblon and Sibuyan, 
where we took several perfect specimens. 
MAOROPYGIA TENUIROSTRIS Bp. 
Not uncommon in Romblon and specimens taken in Sibuyan; 
new to Romblon Province.
