2 Much uncertainty exists as to the distribution of the Philippine species of the 

 genus Thriponax. Sharpe, in his Hand-List of Birds, includes T. javensis 

 (Horsf.) from Luzon, Negros, Mindanao, and Basilan; T. suluensis W. Blasius 

 from Sulu; T. pectoralis Ticcedd. from Leyte and Panaon; T. philippcnsis Steere 

 from Panay, Guimaras, and Masbate; T. hargitti Sharpe from Palawan, and 

 T. mindorensis Steere from Mindoro. This arrangement leaves entirely out of ac- 

 count the Samar bird, which is undoubtedly typical T. pectoralis, as well as the 

 Bongao, Tawi Tawi, and Cebu representatives of the genus. 



Sharpe has himself identified three specimens from Bongao and Tawi Tawi as 

 T. javensis (Ibis, Apr., 1894, p. 249), and the specimens collected in Tawi Tawi 

 by Bourns and myself were by vis referred to this species [Occ. Papers Minnesota 

 Acad., I, No. 1, p. 36 (1894)].
