20. ACTENOIDES MOSELEYI, Sp. UOV. [Op. cit. p. 11.) 



A single specimen of Actenoides, a female, procured in 

 Negros, is near to A. lindsayi. It has the green head, with the 

 blue stripe on the side and back of the head, of the male of 

 that species, with the buffy ear-coverts and green moustachia. 

 stripe of the female. It differs from both sexes of that species 

 in having a black nape and mantle, and black edgings to the 

 feathers of the breast and flanks. 



Hab. Negros.

22. Penelopides basilanica, sp. nov. [Op.cit. p. 13.) 

 Much like P. affinis of Mindanao, but differs from it in 



having the rufous upon the tail reaching to and beneath the 

 upper tail-coverts, so that the whole base of the tail appears 

 rufous, though some specimens show some black at the bases 

 of the feathers when they are uncovered. The sides of the 

 mandibles are also flesh-coloured to their bases, instead of 

 being black behind, as in P. affinis. 

 Hab. Basilan. 



23. Penelopides samariensis, sp. nov. {Op. cit. p. 13.) 

 Most like P. paninif but differs from it in having, in the
