intergrade with C. j. woodf. One skin from Cebn Island appears to 

 be this form. 



Remarks. — Skins from northern Mindanao, adjoining the range of 

 C. pigvlaiis dinagatensis (Bncas, Dinagat, Leyte, Bohol, and Panay 

 islands) show no tendency to intergrade with dhuigatensis, but, on 

 the contrary, have the under parts paler yellow than any others from 

 Mindanao. The range of diiiagateiisis separates the ranges of jngn- 

 hn'ts and nihidam'nsis.
