202 species nest more or less regularly within the confines of 
the Province. 
We observe with much interest that Herr Kollibay’s 
volume was fully discussed at the recent Anniversary 
Meeting of the German Ornithological Society at Breslau 
(see J. f. O. 1907, p. 167), and that he was rather taken to 
task for not having used trinomials more freely !

In the seventh and eighth numbers of the first volume of 
the ‘ Philippine Journal of Science,’ which have lately 
reached us, Mr. McGregor continues his communications 
on the birds of the Philippine Archipelago. The contents 
of the four papers in the first article are sufficiently shown 
by their titles. The species “ of doubtful occurrence” in 
Luzon is a large Swift, probably of the genus Chetura, 
flocks of which were seen by Mr. Worcester in the north. 
In Banton, a small island north of Tablas, examples of 
21 species were obtained by a native collector sent out by 
the Bureau of Science. A curious nest of Lalage niger was 
obtained there, and is now figured. It is extremely slight 
and flat, like that of some Doves. 
The second article contains an account of a collection 
made at Puerto Princes and Tinabog, on the east coast 
of Palawan, in December 1905 and January and February 
1906, which contains “ good series of the species (about 
80 in all) characteristic of this island.” One of them 
(Hypotenidia striata) is new to the List of the Birds of 
Palawan.
