Trebon, Vieill. 



119. Treron nasica, Schl. ; Salvad. Ucc. Born. p. 283. 



a. ? . Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Eyes orange. 



I have compared this specimen with a Sumatran pair collected by Mr. Wallace, and 

 find them identical. 



Osmotreron, Bonaparte. 



120. Osmotreron vernans (L.) : Walden, t. c. p. 210. 



a, b. Maasin, Panay. 

 fShot in cane-fields and open thickets. — J. B. S.] 

 Panay is a new locality for this species. 



121. Osmotreron axillaris (Gray) : Walden, t. c. p. 211. 



a. Zamboanga, Mindanao. 



b. Negros. 



[Very abundant in both the above places, and called by the Spaniards " Llorosa," or 

 the "weeper," from their mournful note. They were flying about in flocks and feeding 

 on fruit.— J. B. S.] 



This Eruit-Pigeon was not before known from Mindanao. 



Phabotreron, Bonaparte. 



122. Phabotreron nigrortjm, sp. n. 



P. similis P. leucoti, sed gula et plaga faciali pallide cervina distinguenda. Long, 

 tot. 9-2, culm. 0"7, alas 4*95, caudse 4'9, tarsi 08*5. 

 a. c?. San Bernardino, Negros, Jan. 1875. Eyes with a narrow ring of carmine ;. crop full of 

 Chili peppers. 

 [A Ground-Pigeon, by no means uncommon, but difficult to preserve on account of 

 the looseness of the plumage. It was found in the corners of the cane-fields, where the 

 red peppers had grown up wild. — J. B. S.] 



On comparing Dr. Steere's adult male bird with those from Luzon in Lord Tweeddale's 

 collection, it appears to differ in having the throat pale fawn-colour instead of rufous, 

 and the cheek-stripe is fawn-colour instead of white. As other Negros birds in Lord 

 Tweeddale's cabinet exhibit the same differences, we may fairly suppose them to be con- 

 stant ; and in that case the species requires a name.

a. Negros.
