16. Ianthoixas griseigularis, Wald. et Layard. 



Xanthomas griseigularis, Wald. Tr. Z. S. ix. p. 218 ; id. P. Z. S. 1878. 

 p. 288. 



One specimen. 



I refer this pigeon with some hesitation to I. griseigularis, of 

 which I have never seen a specimen, and only know it from Mr. 

 Keuleman's figure in the Ibis for 1872 (pi. vi.). On the other hand, 

 it is very closely allied to I. albigularis of the Moluccas, but differs in 

 the greyish shade on the white throat, which is also more re- 

 stricted, and in the forehead being grey with only a slight mark of 

 lilac. 



17. Calcexas xicobarica (L.). 



Calamus nicobarica, Cas. U.S. Expl. Exp. p. 276 ; Sharpe, P. Z. S 

 1875, p. 110. 



Observed on Mangsi in some abundance by the U.S. Exploring 

 Expedition. 



18. PTILOPUS 31ELANOCEPHAIXS. 



Ptiloims melanocephalus (Gm.); Elliot, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 551. An 

 adult specimen. 



19. Macropygia tenuirostris, Gray. 



Macropygia tenuirostris, Walden, Tr. Z. S. ix. p. 218 ; Sharpe, 

 Tr. Linn. Soc. n.s. i. p. 347. 



Two specimens. 



[Luzon (Meyer) ; Basilan (Ste&re) ; Sulu (Burbidge).] 



Lord Tweeddale differs from Professor Schlegel's opinion that the 

 same Philippine species is found in Java and Lombock, where it is 

 M. emiliana of Bonaparte ; but having compared several specimens 

 lately, I believe that the Professor's view is the right one, and that 

 the bird is found over the Philippines, and occurs even in Borneo. 

 Lord Tweeddale separates the Negros bird as M. eurycerca. 



20. Gallus stramineicollis, sp. n. 



General colour above black, shot with green and purple ; wing- 

 coverts like the back, the innermost and the scapulars with a slight 

 subterminal shine of coppery brown ; primary-coverts and primaries 

 black, the secondaries externally green ; feathers of the lower back
