56. BUCHANGA PALAWANENSIS, sp. nOV. f. 



This species is not B. leucophcea, being a smaller and much 

 darker bird, and having a jet-black patch of feathers over 

 the nostrils. The eye in B. leucophcea is brick-red, and in 

 this new species dark grey, so I venture to describe it under 

 the name of Buchanga palawanensis.

 darker and Avith a greenish gloss ; quills black ; inner web 

 of primaries sooty black. Tail near the base slightly lighter 

 than the back, but deepening to sooty black at the end, with
