from the Sulu Archipelago. 



257 



In the following table I have endeavoured to give a com- 

 plete list of the species recorded from the Sulu Archipelago 

 up to the present time. It will be observed that the avifauna 

 of the group is strictly Philippine, as is manifest from the 

 presence of such forms as Calornis panayensis instead of the 

 Bornean C. chalybeus, Eudynamis mindanensis instead of 

 E. honorata, Munia jagori instead of M. hrunneiceps, Cinnyris 

 jugularis instead of C.pect or alts, Copsy elms mindanensis instead 

 of C. amoenus, Pycnonotus goiavier instead of P. analis, &c. 

 The island of Sibutu has a slight admixture of a Bornean 

 element, as is shown by species like Orthotomus ruficeps and 

 Pitta muelleri (instead of Pitta atricapilla) , but its Philippine 

 affinities are manifested by the presence of Sarcops calvus, 

 lole haynaldi, Artamides guillemardi, Tanygnathus burbidgii, 

 and others. 



The initial of the collector is attached to each locality, e.g. 

 B. for Burbidge, E. for Everett, G. for Guillemard, L. for 

 Low, M. for Marche, and P. for Platen.
