39. ^ETHOPYGA MAGNIITCA. 



jEthopyya pacifica (Sharpe, 'Nature,' August 1876, p. 297; 

 Tr. L. S. ser. 2. Zool. i. p. 342; Shelley, Monogr. Cinnyridce, pt. 

 3, pi. 



[Valencia, 6* and 2 , August.] 



In one example ( 6* ) the uropygium is deep orange and not 

 yellow. 



40. Anthothreptus CHLOROGASTER. 



Antkreptes chlorogaster (Sharpe, Tr. L. S. ser. 2, Zool. i. p. 342. 

 no. 107, "Negros," (1876). 



[Valencia, 2 , August : iris indian-red.] 



41. Corvus philippinus (125). 



[Dumaguete, 6* > 2 , August.] 



The disproportion between the dimensions of sexes in the Philip- 

 pine Crow exhibits itself in the Negros examples sent by Mr. Everett, 

 the wing of the male measuring 12 inches, as against 11 in the 

 female ; culmen of male 2'37, of female 2.12. 



42. Calornis panayensis (128). 

 [Dumaguete, d, 2> August.] 



43. Sarcops calvus (129). 

 [Dumaguete, <3 , 2 , August.] 



44. Munia JAGORI (132). 



[Valencia, 6", 2> August. Dumaguete, d\ 2> "breeding," 

 August.] 



May not Meyen's Fringilla minuta (Walden 133) be M. jagori 

 in first plumage, before the black feathers come in ? Otherwise it is 

 remarkable that a species stated by Meyen to occur in numberless 

 troops in the Luzon sugar-plantations has not, since he wrote (1831), 

 been recognized. 



45. Osmotreron axillaris (136). 



[Valencia, <S , August. Dumaguete, 2» August.] 



46. Leucotreron gironieri (137)? 



[Valencia, 6* » August.] 



A single example of a Pigeon much resembling L. gironieri, ex 

 Luzon and Guimaras, and probably representing an immature stage 

 of its dress, is sent by Mr. Everett. It differs from all the phases 

 of plumage described by me (l. c.) in having the throat, breast, and 

 abdomen pale ashy white, much stained pale verdigris green. The 

 crown and nape rich green like the back. A purple pectoral band 

 is indicated by a few isolated plumes. The first primary is not 

 abruptly attenuated ; but perhaps the attenuated first quill is only 

 produced later. The species has not heretofore been recorded from 

 Negros.
