Hartert does not give a full description of this bird, but states that the 

 sides of the head are almost as red as with A. rhodolcema and that 

 the under side is like A. chlorigaster. I have not seen specimens of 

 Anthreptes from any of the Sulu group of islands. 



674. ANTHREPTES CAGAYANENSIS Mearns. 

 CAGAYAN SULU SUNBIRD.

 Cagayan Sulu (Mearns). 



"This is a slight insular form, most closely related to Anthreptes 

 wiglesworthi (Hartert), from Sulu, P. I., from which it differs in being 

 decidedly yellower below; the sides of the head are more reddish; the 

 greater wing-coverts are narrowly edged with olive instead of broadly 

 with ferruginous; and the bill is smaller. Iris hazel; bill all black; 

 feet greenish olive, with under side of toes yellow." (Mearns.) 



* Hartert's remarks on Anthreptes malaccensis wiglesworthi are as follows: 

 "Kopfseiten fast so roth wie bei rhodolaema, Unterseite wie bei chlorigaster 

 (siehe oben). (Meinem zu friih verstorbenen ornithologischen Freunde Wigles- 

 worth gewidmet, der mit A. B. Meyer zusammen in den 'Birds of Celebes' 

 interessante Notizen iiber diese Gruppe gab. ) Sulu Inseln. Typus Tring Museum, 

 Sulu T. v. '83, Powell coll. Alle Stiicke von den Sulu Inseln, die ich sah, sind ohne 

 Zweifel zur gleichen Form zu reclmen."
