Dr. Hartert has separated the Tree-Swifts from the 

 Philippine Islands on account of their longer wing-measure- 

 ments, but the difference does not appear to me to be 

 constant or to warrant this distinction; the wing-measure- 

 ment varies from 5*0 to 5*55 inches, and in the present 

 instance is 5*1.

Two eggs of this Nightjar procured by Mr. Goodfellow at 

 Piso, S.E. Mindanao, differ considerably from those already 

 described by me from Cape Engano, N.E. Luzon (cf. ' Ibis/ 

 1898, p. 246). Most of the markings in the present speci- 

 mens are much smaller, more rounded, and well-defined, 

 some of the surface-markings, especially those round the 

 larger end of one of the eggs, being of a very deep brown. 

 They measure respectively 1*28 by "85 and 1*2 by *83 inch.
