a. ? . Taudaya, 5000 ft., March. No. 302, 



" Iris ruby-red ; bill and feet black." 



Only one adult female example of this small species of 

 Glossy Starling was preserved, as, unfortunately, Mr. Good- 

 fellow did not observe the differences between this bird and 

 the coast form, L. panayensis, until he returned to Davao 

 and compared the two. 



As in the type specimen of the present species, the throat 

 is more decidedly glossed with violet-purple than it is in 

 L. panayensis, while both the bill and the tarsus are con- 

 siderably shorter and much less robust. 



L. todayensis, $ adult : total length ca. 6 - 2 inches ; cul- 

 men 0'58 ; wing 3*9 ; tail 2'45 ; tarsus 0*8. 



L. panayensis, ? adult : total length ca. 6'9 inches ; cul- 

 men 07; wing 3*9; tail 2*7; tarsus 0*97. 



This form is new to the British Museum.

All the Bald Starlings collected by Mr. Goodfellow in 

 South-east Mindanao belong to the dark-backed form of 

 Sarcops. I have already pointed out at some length 

 (c/. 'Ibis/ 1895, pp. 258-260; 1896, p. 469) that the grey- 

 backed form is only found west of about long. 122°, while 

 the dark-backed form onlv occurs to the east of that line,
