has now been found in Samar, Leite, Nipali, Mindanao, and 

 Basilan,

A specimen of the Philippine Cockatoo from Samar. 



79. Prioniturus discurus (Vieill.) ; Grant, Ibis, 1896, 

 p. 560. ■ 



Samar and Leite specimens of the Philippine Racquet- 

 tailed Parrot resemble the more northern forms in having 

 the blue crown paler, less extended, and shading into the 

 yellow-green forehead and nape. 



80. Tanygnathus luconensis (Linn.) ; Grant, Ibis, 1896, 

 p. 561. 



The various insular forms of this species have already 

 been discussed in my previous paper quoted above. Though 

 the Blue-crowned Parraquet is represented in both col- 

 lections, neither of the birds is fully adult, but they appear 

 to be most like birds from Cebu. 



It is the first time that this species has been recorded 

 from Samar and Leite. 



[Iris straw-white, a ring of brown round the pupil ; bill 

 rosy red, lower mandible pale pinkish red ; feet olive-brown, 

 —J. W.] 



81. Bolbopsittacus intermedius, Salvad. Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mus. XX. p. 505, pi. xiii. (1891) ; Bourns & Worcester, Occ. 

 Pap. Minnesota Acad. Sci. i. no. 1, pp. 36 & 50 (1894). 



Mr. Whitehead obtained a good series of the Samar Col- 

 lared Parraquet in both islands, Leite being a new locality. 

 The type specimen, a male, has the blue parts of the face 

 inclining to purplish and rather more richly coloured tlian 

 in any of the specimens now before me ; still there can be no 

 doubt that the Samar and Leite birds belong to this species, 

 which is very close to B. hmulatus, but the latter has the 

 collar and face of a verditer-blue.
