The White-collared Kingfisher from Samar. The ear-

 band forming a wide border to the crown. 



66. Hydrocorax semigaleatus (Tweedd.) ; Grant, Cat. 

 B. Brit. Mus. xvii. p. 360 (1892). 



The Greater Samar Hornbil) is represented in both col- 

 lections.

The Philippine Trogon was met with in both islands, Leite 

 being a new locality.

 p. 472. 



Yungipicus leytensis, Steere, List Birds & Mamm. Philip- 

 pines, p. 9 (1890). 



The Leite Pigmy Woodpecker appears to be fairly common 

 in both islands. In the previous paper on the birds of 

 Mindoro, quoted above, a key to the Philippine species of 

 Iyngipicus will be found, the present birds coming under 

 sections B and c. The latter would, however, be clearer if 

 it read " ground-colour of underparts pale buff,'' &c. 



70. Chrysocolaptes rufopunctatus, Hargitt, Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mus. xviii. p. 457, pi. xii. (1890) ; Bourns & Worcester, Occ. 

 Pap. Minnesota Acad. Sci. i. no. 1, p. 53 (1894). 



Chrysocolaptes samarensis, Steere, List Birds & Mamm. 

 Philippines, p. 8 (1890). 



This Crimson-backed Woodpecker is fairly common in 

 Samar, but only one example was obtained in Leite. W^e 

 have compared Hargitt's female type from Panaon with 

 Steere's types from Samar and fully agree with Messrs. Bourns
