the Birds of the British Museum,' as far as the volumes of that 

 work had been issued when this paper was first prepared. 



The land birds of the Philippines collected by the expedition, 

 as far as identified, belong to one hundred and fifty-six genera, 

 and number three hundred and twenty-four species. 



Of these, six genera (List A), — Lanius, Motacilla, Anthus, 

 Locustella, Acroccphalus, and Phylloscopus, — with twelve 

 species, are migratory as regards part or all of their species 

 found in the Philippines, and have been left out of the study, 

 though the non-migratory species of these seem to be distributed 

 according to the same law governing the other resident birds. 



There are left one hundred and fifty genera and three hundred 

 and twelve species of resident land birds. Of the&e, seventy- 

 five genera were found represented in the Philippines by single 

 species each. These are as follows : —
