  The 
  splendid 
  results 
  of 
  Whitehead's 
  work 
  in 
  Luzon 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  

   known 
  to 
  the 
  readers 
  of 
  the 
  llm

  the 
  interesting 
  papers 
  of

  Whiteliead 
  not 
  only 
  collected 
  in 
  various 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  island 
  remote 
  

   from 
  the 
  capital, 
  but 
  pushed 
  into 
  the 
  highlands, 
  reaching 
  ground 
  where 
  

   no 
  collector 
  had 
  ever 
  set 
  foot 
  before. 
  Just 
  what 
  it 
  means 
  to 
  get 
  to 
  the 
  

   places 
  wliieh 
  he 
  reached, 
  and 
  to 
  stay 
  there 
  and 
  collect 
  after 
  getting 
  

   there, 
  no 
  one 
  can 
  realize 
  who 
  has 
  not 
  had 
  experience 
  with 
  Spanish 
  

   ofricialdom 
  and 
  the 
  Philippine 
  native, 
  his 
  country, 
  and 
  its 
  climate. 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  -8() 
  species 
  of 
  birds 
  recorded 
  from 
  Luzon, 
  no 
  less 
  than 
  136 
  are 
  

   Philippine 
  species. 
  The 
  following 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  peculiar

  We 
  have, 
  then, 
  T)! 
  s])ecies 
  not 
  known 
  from 
  the 
  Philippines 
  outside 
  of 
  

   Luzon, 
  Marinduqne, 
  and 
  Catanduanes. 
  Eleven 
  of 
  the 
  genera 
  repre- 
  

   sented 
  are 
  peculiar, 
  and 
  no 
  one 
  can 
  object 
  to 
  Steere's 
  assigning 
  Luzon 
  

   and 
  its 
  small 
  neighbors 
  to 
  a 
  place 
  of 
  their 
  own. 
  It 
  should 
  be 
  remem- 
  

   bered, 
  however, 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  above 
  enumerated 
  species 
  33, 
  including 
  all 
  

   but 
  3 
  of 
  the 
  peculiar 
  genera, 
  were 
  discovered 
  by 
  Whitehead. 
  Just 
  

   how 
  nuxny 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  highland 
  forms 
  we 
  are 
  not 
  informed, 
  but 
  cer- 
  

   tainly 
  a 
  considerable 
  number. 
  Until 
  the 
  highlands 
  of 
  the 
  remaining 
  

   islands 
  have 
  been 
  worked 
  as 
  thoroughly 
  as 
  have 
  those 
  of 
  Luzon, 
  there 
  

   is, 
  tberefore, 
  danger 
  of 
  exaggerating 
  the 
  distinctness 
  of 
  the 
  Luzon 
  

   avifauna.
