 Hab. Mindanao. 



4. LoRTCULus siquijorensis, sp. nov. {Op. cit. p. 6.) 

 Adult male with large quadrangular spot of crimson upon 



the forehead and crown, ending sharply in the general green 

 colour of the upper surface. Adult female and young male : 

 red spot upon the forehead veiled by blue tips to the red 

 feathers. 



Hab. Siquijor. 



5. LORICULUS MINDORENSIS, Sp. UOV. {Op. Cit, p. 6.) 



Adult with a broad crimson band across the forehead below 

 the eyes, ending sharply in the green of the upper surface. 

 Hab. Mindoro. 



6. LoRicuLUs woRCESTERi, sp. UOV. {Op. cit. p. 6.) 



The crimson of the upper surface covering the forehead, 

 crown, and nape, where it tapers to a point. It is distin- 

 guished from L. hartlaubii, its nearest ally, by the much 

 fainter wash of orange-red upon the mantle and intersca- 

 pulars, and by the shape of the red markings of the head and 

 nape. In L. hartlaubii the crimson area grows wider on the 

 nape, where it ends broadly. 



All adult male Philippine Loriculi observed have an orange- 

 red spot upon the breast and green cheeks. All adult 

 females and all young males in their second plumage have 

 blue on the cheeks and throat, and lack the orange-red 

 plastron. All young birds in first plumage have the entire 

 head green and the rump scarlet. The seven species met 

 with can be readily distinguished in all but the first plumage 

 by the shape and location of the crimson and yellow markings 

 upon the head and nape. 



Hab. Samar, Levte.
