534 On Birds from the Island of Negros. 



This species is new to Negros. The type specimen was 

 obtained on the Island of Panay hy Professor Steere, who 

 procured this bird also on Guimaras; but I am not aware 

 that it has been obtained elsewhere in the Philippines. 



15. CriRYSocoLAPTEs XANTHocEPHALUs, Waklen & Layard. 

 Adult male. This specimen differs in some important 



respects from the specimen described in the Brit. Mas. Cat. 

 (xviii. p. 457), and I had to seek Mr. Ilargitt's kindly aid 

 for its identification. 



This bird has an orange malar stripe ; has rounded wliite 

 marginal spots on the inner webs of all the quills, including 

 the outer primaries, where none of these spots are confluent; 

 the partially concealed sjoots on the head are buff; and the 

 lower under tail-coverts are dull buff, with a dusky central 

 stripe. 



This species has been previously recorded for Negros. 



16. Thriponax HARGiTTi, Sliarpc. 



This Woodpecker has hitherto been obtained in the Island 

 of Palawan only, and its occurrence in the somewhat distant 

 Island of Negros is, perhaps, as surprising as it is interesting. 

 It is an adult male. 



17. LoRicuLUs REGULUS, Souance. 



18. NiNOx PHiLiPPENSis, Bouaparte. 



19. Spilornis holospilus (Vigors). 



I have not been able to trace this bird's previous occur- 

 rence in Negros. It appears, however, to be widely 

 distributed over the group to the north, south, and east of 

 Negros. 



This specimen is in immature plumage. The feathers of 

 the crest are white at the base, with a subterminal band of 

 black, and are narrowly edged with rufous buff. 



20. BuTASTUR iNDicus (Gmcliu). 



21. Polioaetus ichthyaetus (Horsfield). 

 23. Haliastur intermedius, Gurney. 

 23. Elanus hypoleucus, Gould.
