73. CULICICAPA PANAYENSIS. 



Culicicapa panayensis (Sharpe) ; id. Cat. B. iv. p. 371. 



Two adult males and females from Bongao. 



These specimens are rather greener than typical Philippine 

 birds ; but^ as they are not in very perfect plumage, I have 

 not been able to determine whether there are any other 

 differences. 



74. SiPHIA PHILIPPINENSIS. 



Siphia philippmensis, Sharpe, Cat. B. iv. p. 450. 



Cyornis philippinensis, Sharpe, Tr. Linn. Soc. (2), Zool. i, 

 p. 325 (1877) ; Guillem. P. Z. S. 1885, p. 260. 



Young birds from Bongao, and adults and young of both 

 sexes from Sibutu. The adults are marked : " Bill black ; 

 legs dark brown; iris chocolate-brown.^' 



75. HiRUNDO JAVANICA. 



Hirundo Javafiica, Sparrm. ; Sharpe, Cat. B. x. p. 142 

 (1885) ; Guillem. P. Z. S. 1885, p. 261. 

 Two young females from Sibutu. 



76. Pitta erythrogastra. 



Pitta erythrogastra, Temm. ; Blasius, J. f. O. 1890, p. 139 ; 

 Whitehead, Ibis, 1893, p. 504. 



Adult males from Bongao, and a series from Sibutu. 



77. Pitta atricapilla. 



Pitta atricapilla, Less.; Scl. Cat. B. xiv. p. 438; White- 

 head, Ibis, 1893, p. 498. 



An adult male from Bongao. 



Mr. Everett has sent only one specimen from Bongao, and 

 this turns out to be different from the Sibutu bird, which is 

 P. muelleri. It is the true Philippine P. atricapilla, and I 

 quite agree with Mr. Whitehead that the amount of black 

 on the belly is a recognizable character. 



78. Pitta muelleri. 



Pitta muelleri (Bp.) ; Sclater, Cat. B. xiv. p. 439; White- 

 head, Ibis, 1893, p. 499.

 dark brown."
