19. CuLicicAPA HELiANTHEA (Wallace) ; Grant, Ibis, 1896, 

 p. 542. 



This little Yellow-breasted Flycatcher is now recorded from 

 Leite for the first time. It is also known to occur in Luzon, 

 Negros, Panay, Palawan, and Celebes. It will probably be 

 found to inhabit the high ground of the southern islands of 

 the Philippine group. 



20. Cryptolopha olivacea (Moseley) ; Grant, Ibis, 1896, 

 p. 543. 



An adult and a young male of the Olive Flycatcher- 

 Warbler from Samar, and an adult male from Leite ; the 

 latter locality is new. 



The young bird has the crown entirely olive- green, and 

 the throat washed with pale yellow. 



21. PoLioLOPHus UROSTICTUS (Salvad.) ; Grant, Ibis, 1896, 

 p. 116. 



Pycnonotus urostictus, Tweeddale, Trans. Zool. Soc. ix. 

 pi. xxxii. (]875j. 



Poliolophus basilanicus, Steere, List Birds & Mamm. 

 Philippines, p. 19 (1890). 



Though two species of the Wattled Brown Bulbul are 

 recognized by Prof. Steere, there can be no doubt that 

 P. basilanicus is synonymous with P. urostictus. It is true 

 that the type of the male, a freshly moulted bird from 

 Basilan, has the upper parts of rather a brighter olive than 

 usual ; but the female type from the same island is identical 

 with specimens from Mindanao and other more northern 

 localities. 



Mr. Whitehead writes that the naked skin round the eye 

 is of a pale lemon-yellow, and forms a conspicuous character 

 when the bird is alive. This yellow ring and the peculiar 

 black and white markings on the feathers of the lower back 

 are omitted in the figure given by Lord Tweeddale, and 

 quoted above; but the former is well shown in the woodcut 

 given by Dr. Sharpe (Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vi. p. 63, 1881).
