Birds of the Philippine Islands. 555 



(cf. Ibis, 1895, p. 261), and identified as M. brunneiceps, 

 Walden, are merely worn specimens of M.jagori. 



Munia formosana, Swinhoe, of which a specimen was 

 recorded from Isabella, North Luzon [cf. Ibis, 1895, p. 112), 

 appears to be a distinct pale-coloured form, the head, eveu 

 in freshly-moulted male examples, being of a dark smoky 

 brown. In addition to the specimens recorded in the Cata- 

 logue of Birds, I have examined a number of Formosan 

 examples of this species in the Seebohm collection. 



50. Uroloncha everetti (Tweedd.) ; Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 261. 



Both sexes of Everett's Striped Weaver are represented in 

 the present collection. Although it has been found in most 

 of the Philippine islands, this is the first record of its occur- 

 rence in Negros. 



51. Pitta erythrogastra, Tenim. ; Grant, Ibis, 1896, 

 pp. 121, 470. 



This is the first time the Red-bellied Pitta has been found 

 in Negros, although it has been met with in other islands of 

 the group. 



52. Pitta atricapilla, Less. ; Grant, Ibis, 1896, p. 121. 

 The Philippine Black-headed Pitta is also represented. 



53. CoLLOCALiA FuciPHAGA (Thuub.) ; Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 461. 



An adult male of the Edible-nest Swiftlet, shot on the 

 volcano of Canloon, agrees perfectly with the birds ob- 

 tained in the highlands of Lepanto. The wing measures 

 4*45 inches. 



54. Macropteryx comata, Temm. ; Grant, Ibis, 1895, 

 p. 459. 



We have a male of the Tufted Tree-Swift, shot on the 

 21st of March.
