rump and upper tail-coverts barred with black and white. 

 The black bars become narrower behind below, until the 

 under tail-coverts are nearly or quite pure white. 

 Hab. Mindanao, Samar. 



27. Artamides panayensis, sp. uov. {Op.cit. p. 14.) 

 Young. — Barred below like A. mindanensis, but with the 



black bars much broader, giving the under surface a darker 

 look. Feathers of rump and upper tail-coverts plumbeous 

 at base, then broadly black, then white-edged. 



Adult male. — Throat and breast uniform plumbeous grey. 

 Rest of under surface and rump and upper tail-coverts barred, 

 as in the young. Bars of black on under tail-coverts as broad 

 as the white. A. panayensis is a shade darker plumbeous 

 grey than A. mindanensis. Black and plumbeous predominate 

 on the rump and upper tail-coverts ; black predominates in 

 the barring beneath. In A. mindanensis white is more promi- 

 nent in the barring below and above. 



Hab. Guimaras, Panay, Masbate.

29. Pseudolalage minor, sp. nov. {Op. cit. p. 15.) 



This bird of the P. melanoleuca type differs in being much 

 smaller, averaging about 7*50 inches, while P. melanoleuca 

 averages 8' 25. The male agrees almost exactly with P. mela- 

 noleuca in colouring. The white tips of the two outer tail- 

 feathers are much narrower. The females of the two species 

 differ most ; they are alike on the upper surface, but Pseudo-
