328 MR. R. B. SHARPE ON BIRDS COLLECTED BY 



Zeocephus, Bonaparte. 



59. Zeocephus cinnamomeus, sp. n. (Plate XLVIII. fig. 1.) 



<y ad. omnino cinnamomeus, subtus paullo lsetior, abdornine albicante ; remigibus nigri- 

 canti-brunneis, extus et intus cinnamonieis ; cauda saturate castanea, rectricibus 

 quatuor medianis versus apicem brunnescentibus. Long. tot. 7"5, culm. 075, alae 3'4, 

 caudse 3 - 35, tarsi - 7. 

 a. J 1 . Isabella de Basilan. Eyes dark. 

 Although not possessing such a strongly graduated tail as Z. rafus *, this bird is 

 apparently congeneric, and may be distinguished by its brighter and clearer cinnamon- 

 red colour, and especially by its white belly. Like Z. ritfus it has a wattled ring round 

 the eye. 



[Of this new bird I only saw one specimen, which I distinguished by its bright red 

 colour among the green leaves. It was shot in a thick forest in the interior of the island 

 of Basilan, at some distance from the sea. — J. B. S.] 



60. Zeocephus cyanescens, sp. n. (Plate XLVIII. fig. 2.) 



$ ad. scbistaceo-cyaneus ; loris et margine angusto frontali, mento summo et macula 

 ad basin mandibulse posita, nigris; remigibus nigricantibus dorsi colore extus 

 lavatis ; cauda dorso concolori, sed saturatiore ; rostro cyaneo ; palpebra carun- 

 culata cyanea; iride nigra. Long. tot. 8*5, culm. 0"85, ahe 3*85, caudse 4*25, 

 tarsi - 75. 

 a. $ . Puerta Princesa, Palawan, July 24. Eyes black ; inside of mouth and tongue leaf-green ; 

 eyelid and bill light blue. 

 [I saw a few more of this species in the island ; but it did not appear to be very 

 abundant. — J. B. S.] 



This species is totally distinct from the otber two rufous-coloured ones. 



HIRUNDINIDtE. 

 Hietjndo, Linnaaus. 



61. Hirtjndo PvUSTTCA, L. : Dresser, B. Eur. part xxxix. 



a, b. $ juv. Dumalon, Mindanao. Eyes dark. 

 [Pound in some numbers ; not seen far from the beach. — J. B. S.] 

 These birds seem to be our Common Swallow and not H.javanica. The specimens 

 procured were hotb young birds ; but I do not doubt the identification.
