Cinnyris sperata (Linn.). 



The red sunbird was obtained at Chicago, but was by no means 

 abundant. 



Cinnyris jugularis (Linn.). 



A male black-throated sunbird made daily visits to an ornamental 

 flowering shrub within 2 feet of the porch at Chicago. The species 

 was not noted at our upper camp. 



Anthreptes griseigularis Tweed ?. 



So far as I know, no species of Anthreptes has been recorded from 

 Mindoro. The present collection contains two adult females and 

 one male; the latter, unfortunately, is immature, with but a few 

 metallic feathers on head, mustachial line, and upper tail coverts 

 and with no feathers of the adult plumage on the throat, so that 

 no absolute determination can be made. The two females agree 

 very well in size and coloration with those of A. griseigularis from 

 Luzon. The Mindoro bird can not be A. chlorigaster, which is 

 much larger and has a longer bill. 



Motacilla melanope Pall. 



Four males, May 4 to 10, are in full breeding dress, the entire 

 throat being black with narrow gray edges to the feathers. This 

 is the first time we have found this bird in full plumage. 



Chlorura brunneiventris Grant. 



On April 29 a pair of this species were killed in the river bottom 

 within 100 yards of our Balete camp. No more were seen. 



Munia jagori Martens. 



Jagor's chestnut weaver-bird was seen in small companies in the 

 high grass of the river bottom, but was by no means common. Prob- 

 ably the species was breeding, but I saw no nests. 



Oriolus chinensis Linn. 

 Abundant. 



Dicrurus balicassius (Linn.). 



Not uncommon in the forests about Balete. 



Sarcops calvus (Linn.). 

 Common. 



Lamprocorax panayensis (Scop.) . 



Calornis panayensis SHAEPE, Cat. Bds., XIII, p. 147. 

 Common.
