black. Wings and tail black, edged with purplish black.

45. Orthotomus panayensis, sp, nov. (0/?. cit. p, 20.) 

 The chestnut-headed Tailor-bird from Panay must, I 



think, be separated from that of the other islands. It is 

 smaller, and the slaty gray is confined to a brief space on the 

 mantle. The interscapular region, as well as the rest of the 

 back, is green. 

 Hab. Panay.

 Adult male. — Head black. Collar yellow. Rest of upper 



surface dark olive-green. Chin and jaw white. Throat black. 

 Rest of under surface bright yellow. Tail chestnut; outer 

 pair of tail-feathers with outer web yellow. Length 4"60 

 inches, wing 2*90, tail 1*80. 

 Hab. Samar. 



47. ZosTEROPs basilanica, sp, nov. {Op. cit. p. 21.) 

 Above dark olive-green, but a little lighter on the head and 



rump. Wings and tail blackish, edged with olive-green. Lores 

 dusky, space above them not distinctly yellow. Chin, throat, 

 and a broad stripe along the breast and abdomen sulphur- 

 yellow. Sides of breast and flanks clear ashy grey.
