same pale ferruginous as the upper plumage. Rectrices above pale 

 brown, underneath much paler, with bold subterminal dark brown 

 almost black spots, which show through on the upper surface 

 as brown marks ; the inner margins of the quills are pale ferru- 

 ginous. 



This Negros bird differs from N. -Mindanao, Celebes, and Bangkok 

 (Siam) examples of C. grayi in its smaller dimensions and longer 

 and broader first primary, and in the absence of the pure uniform 

 rufo-fulvous cap. 



The description of C. semirufa, Cab., is too meagre for identifi- 

 cation, and no dimensions are stated ; but it is probably the same 

 bird as C. grayi. G. ruficeps, Gould (Sclater, P. Z. S. 1877, p. 98), 

 belongs to C. grayi, the only difference Dr. Brown's example 

 exhibits being the absence of the rufous tinting of the breast and 

 under surface generally.

 New to Negros. 



35. Zosterops nigrorum, n. sp. 



[Valencia, S and $, August.] 



Male and female. Above light olive-green ; whole under plumage 

 light greenish-yellow, almost pure yellow ; closed wing like the 

 back, outer quill-margins paler ; space before the eye almost pure 

 yellow ; axillaries and under wing-coverts very pale yellow ; a narrow 

 black mark margins the white feathers of the underside of the 

 orbit; rectrices pale brown edged with olive-green. Wing 2-18, 

 tail 1-87, tarsus 0'62, culmen 0-44. 



Closely allied to Z. austeni, Walden, ex Karen-nee, this Negros 

 species differs in being of a darker shade of green above and a 

 lighter yellow underneath.
