some new Species of Birds. 535 



Described from examples obtained by Mr. Everett at Bu- 

 tuan (N. Mindanao). 



Pomatorhinus nuchaUs, sp. n. 

 Pomcdorhinus leucogaster, Gould, apud Walden, B. Burma, no. 351. 



Differs from P. olivaceus, Bljth, ex Meetun and Moolejit 

 (Tenasserim) by the ferruginous of tlie sides of the neck ex- 

 tending down the flanks, and from P. scMsticeps, Hodgs.,= 

 P. leucogaster^ Gould, by its smaller dimensions, and the 

 absence of pure white central streaks on the lateral ferru- 

 ginous pectoral feathers. 



This is the race that inhabits Thayetmyo, the Yoma and 

 Karen hills, and Karen-nee. In examples from all these 

 localities the nape is tinged with rufous 5 but in Karen-nee 

 individuals the rufous forms a distinct broad demicollar. 



This would appear to be the race identified by Mr. Hume 

 (Str. F. iii. p. 121) as P. schisticeps, Hodgs., a species which 

 cannot be separated from P. leucogaster, Gould, both described 

 from the Himalayas, the stated dimensions of P. leucogaster 

 scarcely differing from the actual dimensions of the type 

 specimens of P. schisticeps in the British Museum. 



Mixornis (?) capitalis, sp. n. 



$ . Forehead, vertex, and occiput rufous, each feather with 

 a pale fulvous central streak. Space before the eyes and 

 lores dull grey. Cheeks, ear-coverts, and sides of neck ashy, 

 each feather with a pale albescent central streak. Nape, back, 

 and wing-coverts the same, the pale striations on the back 

 being very prominent in consequence of the abnormal length 

 of the dorsal plumage. Uropygium and upper tail-coverts 

 olive rusty grey and unstriated. Rectrices brown ; outer pair 

 with the whole outer and apical third of the inner web pale 

 yellowish white ; remaining pairs, middle excepted, broadly 

 tipped on both webs with white, middle pairs slightly tipped 

 with white. All the quills brown, narrowly margined exter- 

 nally with fulvous grey, the tertiaries with pale rusty. Basal 

 portion of quills margined on their inner webs with white. 

 Chin and throat rufous and rufous-white. Breast, under 

 wing-coverts, abdomen, vent, and under tail-coverts white, 

 faintly tinged with very pale yellow. 



Wing 2-75 inches, tail 2-50, tarsus 0*70, culmen 0-62. 



Described from a single individual obtained in the Philip- 

 pine island of Dinagat by Mr. Everett.
