Ullage minor lias the chin, throat, and breast plumbeous 

 grey, with dark shaft-stripes and faint whitish above. The 

 plumbeous of the breast fades into white on the belly and 

 under tail-coverts. 

 Hab. Mindanao. 



30. Pericrocotus leytensis, sp. nov. {Op. cit. p. 15.) 

 The adult male has the general colouring of P. igneus, but 



is larger, and the central tail-feathers are tipped with vermi- 

 lion. The four outer primaries are black, and at least seven 

 of the secondaries have vermilion markings on the outer 

 webs towards their tips, as well as the broad vermilion bai's 

 across their bases. Length 7'0 inches, wing 3*0, tail 3'50. 

 Hab. Leyte. 



31. HypoTHYMis sAMARENSis, sp. nov. {Op. cit. p. 16.) 



I find this form of Hypothymis from the eastern islands 

 constantly differing from H. superciliaris in having the head 

 black, slightly washed with blue. The silvery cobalt plumes 

 on the forehead, and over the eye also, form a much narrower 

 line. 



Hab, Samar, Leyte. 



32. Cyanomyas helen.e, sp. nov. {Op. cit. p. 16.) 

 Adult male. — Entire upper surface rich azure-blue, lighter 



on upper tail-coverts. Forehead and line over eye silvery 

 cobalt. Wings much darker blue. Lore and space extending 

 back to the eye black. Chin black. Throat and breast dark 

 azure-blue. Abdomen white. Feathers of crest and sides 

 of head much lengthened, as in C ccelestis. Size smaller. 

 Hab. Samar. 



33. Setaria SAMARENSis, sp. nov. {Op. cit. p. 16.) 

 Differs chiefly from S. ruficauda of Sharpe in having the 



cheeks brown, and not olive, and in having the under surface 

 washed with fulvous brown, this forming a broad band across 

 the breast. 



Hab. Mindanao, Samar. 



34-. Oriolus SAMARENSIS, sp. nov. (Op. cit. p. 17.) 

 Yellower than O. steerii. Central tail-feathers unmarked.
