similar^ and are easily distingnishecl from the allied D. con- 

 color, Jard., from S. ludia^ by having the lores and forehead 

 dull olive-green like the rest of the head^ whereas in the latter 

 species these parts are white. No doubt the nearest ally is 

 D. inornatum (Hodgs.)^ which is found in the eastern Hima- 

 layasj Burmese countries, Tenasserim Hills^ and Sumatra ; 

 but the Luzon bird is very much larger, and its bill is nearly 

 twice the size.

" Probably a migrant, but so numerous in the forest that 

 I hope it may be resident. It is now moulting in a rich buff- 

 coloured neck. — J. W."

Out of three specimens sent, one has the whole outer web 

 of the penultimate tail-feathers pure white, the second has the 

 outer web blackish towards the base, and the third has the 

 basal half of the outer web blacky but unequally developed 

 on the two sides. The black is apparently characteristic of 

 younger examples.
