having the necessary material from India for comparison, but there is 
most certainly no reason for thinking that the subject of Daubenton’s 
plate did not come from the Philippines because it has a white belly. 
We therefore retain his title for the Philippine bird. It is one of the 
commonest birds in the islands. 
“Ten males averaget Length, 156; wing, 69; tail, 71; culmen, 15; 
tarsus, 15; middle toe with claw, 14. Five females, length, 147; wing, 
67; tail, 67; culmen, 14; tarsus, 15; middle toe with claw, 14. Bill 
blue in male, but often black in female; legs and feet bluish, nails 
black.” (Bourns and Worcester MS.) j 
A nest of the black-naped flycatcher, containing three eggs, was found 
in Mindoro in April, it was composed of green moss and soft bits of dry 
bamboo leaves, and lined with fine blackish fibers. The outside was 
decorated with cotton-like substance from one of the fulgorid insects. 
The eggs were white, marked with dots of reddish brown. 
A nest and two eggs found by Whitehead near Cape Engafio, Luzon, 
on May 24, 1895, are described as follows: 
“Shape rounded ovate. Ground-color pure white, thickly speckled, 
especially round the larger end, with small spots and dots of brown- 
lake and with a few pale lilac under-markings. In general character 
these eggs resemble those of the tits’ (Paridw). Measurements 17 
mm. by 14 mm. 
“Nest cup-shaped, generally placed in a forked branch among the 
lower growth in old forests. The structure is made’ of moss firmly 
bound together with white spider’s-web and lined with fine brown fibers.” 
(Grant and Whitehead.) 
The black-naped flycatcher is one of the commonest of Philippine 
birds and is found wherever there are thickets or forest. It is more or 
less solitary in habits. 
Genus CAMIGUINIA McGregor, 1907. 
Bill moderately flattened as in Cyanomyias; culmen less than tarsus 
and equal to middle toe with claw; rictal bristles longer than bill from 
nostril; first primary little more than one-half of second, the latter 
much less than third; fifth longest and slightly longer than fourth and 
sixth ; tail about equal to wing and slightly graduated; feathers of chin, 
lores, and forehead short, soft, and pile-like; feathers of crown more or 
less scale-like; occipital crest soft and full. 
This genus is intermediate between Cyanomyias and Hypothymis ; 
from the former it differs in lacking the greatly lengthened crest and 
the antrorse loral plumes, and from the latter it differs in having the 
feathers of crown and crest scale-like, instead of soft and velvety.
