The following known species not previously recorded from the 

 Philippines were found there by us: 



1. Caprimulgus jotaka Temm. & Schleg.; Hartert, Cat. B. Brit. 

 Mus. xvi. p. 552 (1892). Palawan. 



2. Prionochilus modestus Hume.; Hume, Str. P. p. 298, 1875. 



We have therefore added 7 species to the known bird fauna of 

 Luzon, 7 to that of Palawan, 25 to that of Sulu, 15 to that of Basilan, 

 13 to that of Mindanao, 38 to that of Panay, 24 to that of Negros, 9 

 to that of Guimaras, 52 to that of Siquijor, 40 to that of Cebu, 37 to 

 that of Samar, 67 to that of Masbate, and 40 to that of Mindoro. 



In Tawi Tawi we discovered 92 species, of which 19 were after- 

 ward found by Mr. Everett's collectors also, as well as three species 

 not obtained by us, making the whole number of species at present 

 known from Tawi Tawi 95. 



In Romblon we discovered 44 species, in Sibuyan 65, and in Tablas 

 66. The curious fauna of these three islands will be fully treated 

 of later. 



In the Calamianes Islands (Culion and Busuanga) we discovered 

 73 species of birds, all of them identical with species found in Pala- 

 wan. Most of the mammals found in the Calamianes Islands were 

 also well known Palawan forms. Deer are, however, very abundant 

 in the Calamianes, and we found one mammal in Busuanga which is 

 probably new.
