PROF. STEERE IN THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO. 313 



Lorictjltjs, Blyth. 



5. LoRicuiitrs chrysonottjs, Scl. : Walden, t. c. p. 137. 



a. Zebu. 

 Agrees with Zebu (typical) examples in Lord Tweeddale's collection. 



6. Lorictjltjs regtjlus, Souance" : Walden, t. c. p. 135. 



[The native names for all these little Parrakeets are Cusi and Oulacissi, both being 

 derived from the curious whistle of the birds. They seem to reside amongst the cocoa- 

 nut palms, and are frequently captured and kept by the natives. — J. B. S.]. 



Lord Tweeddale and I carefully compared Dr. Steere's specimen, and came to the 

 conclusion that it was an individual of L. regulus not adult. Panay is therefore a new 

 habitat for the species. 



ACCIPITPES. 



FALCONED^. 



AcCIPITRINiE. 



Accipiter, Briss. 



7. Accipiter virgattjs (Temm.) : Sharpe, Cat. B. i. p. 151. Teraspiza virgata, Walden, 



t. c. p. 141. 

 a. ad. Negros. 

 In rich adult plumage with red breast. It is in all likelihood a male, as it has the fol- 

 lowing measurements : — Total length 11'8 inches, culmen 0-85, wings 6*9, tail 5-5, tarsus 

 2"1. The above dimensions, however, do not tally with those of either sex given in my 

 Catalogue ; and it is probable that a further revision may prove that more than one race 

 is included under the title of A. virgatus. Negros is a new habitat for this Sparrow- 

 Hawk. 



AQUILINE. 



Spilornis, G. B. Gray. 



8. Spilornis holospiltjs (Vigors) : Walden, t. c. p. 142. 



a. ad. Mount Ma-hay-hay, near Manila. 



Butastur, Blodgs. 



9. Btjtasttjr indictjs (Gm.) : Walden, t. c. p. 143. 



a. S juv. Zamboanga, Mindanao. Eyes greenish yellow. 



b. ad. Panay. 



This species, a migrant from the China coast, visiting the Moluccas in winter, is now 

 first recorded from the above two islands.
