This form appears to differ from Z. whiteheadi, Hartert, 

 in having the breast and belly of a more dusky soiled white. 

 In well made-up skins there is a faint band of yellow down 

 the middle of the breast and belly. 



The British Museum contains a series of this species 

 collected by Mr. Waterstradt. 



16. Dendrophila lilacea. 



Callisitta lilacea (Whitehead); McGregor & Worcester, 

 p. 94. 



a-f. S ? • Mt. Apo, 8000 ft., Feb., March. Nos. 161, 

 179, 205, 213, 245, 276. 



" Iris bright greenish-yellow, rim of eyelids chrome-yellow, 

 bare skin round the eye and bill greenish-yellow ; feet olive- 

 green." 



This species is easily recognised from D. anochlamys 

 Sharpe by having the feathers below the eye and the ear- 

 coverts violet instead of blue. This character, which is 

 perhaps the most important difference between the two 

 species, has not been previously noticed. 



The two immature specimens of Dendrophila procured by 

 Whitehead at Cape Engano, N.E. coast of Luzon, and 

 referred by me to D. mesoleuca [cf. ' Ibis/ 1896, p. 119), are 

 probably immature specimens of D. cenochlamys, D. meso- 

 leuca being confined to the high mountains of East Luzon. 



The localities given by McGregor and Worcester, t. c. p. 94, 

 for " Callisitta anochlamys " are incorrect, for the bird found 

 in Leyte, Mindanao, and Basilan is D. lilacea.
