Mr. Everett's researches enable me to make known the existence 

 in the Philippines of a second species of Collocalia. He has sent 

 five examples. Underneath they are mouse-grey ; above fuliginous 

 brown, faintly tinged with bottle-green. The wings and tail darker 

 brown than the back, showing a greenish gloss on the new feathers.
