 This lovely little Sun-bird is another species which was 



met with for the first time in the Albay district of South- 

 east Luzon, as well as on the island of Catanduanes. Among 

 the five birds sent from Cape Engano is an adult female, 

 and we now see that the type described was not so nearly 

 adult as was supposed, for in the mature plumage there is a 

 bright yellow patch down the middle of the lower breast and 

 belly, similar in shape and position to the orange-red patch 

 in the male. The rest of the plumage is similar to that of 

 the type already described. The female of the allied form, 

 C. ffuimarasensis, Steere, is described by Messrs. Bourns and 

 Worcester as having the " entire breast bright orange-yellow, 

 paler on the flanks, abdomen, and under tail-coverts.^'

 Whitehead's Sun-bird appears to be fairly common in the 



neighbourhood of Cape Engano. Specimens of both sexes 

 were obtained.

The Luzon Yellow-breasted Silver-eye, first met with in 

 the Albay district, was again procured near Cape Engano, 

 the birds from both localities being perfectly similar.

A male of this Hed-bellied Flower-pecker from Engaiio.

A few males of the Yellow-rumped Flower-pecker from 

 Engano. These differ slightly from the birds sent in the 

 Lepanto collection, being devoid of the dull olive-green fringes 

 to the feathers of the nape and back of the neck which 

 characterize the latter, which are, no doubt, freshly moulted.
