47. Carpophaga jKnea (141). 

 [Dumaguete, <3 , $ , August. 



48. Ianthcenas griseigularis (145). 



[Valencia, d 1 , August : iris orange ; orbital region and basal half 

 of bill dark crimson ; apical half of bill pale yellow ; feet dull car- 

 mine ; nails yellowish grey.] 



49. Macropygia eurycerca, sp. n. (146, partim). 



[Valencia, S , August : iris yellow, with outer ring crimson ; or- 

 bital region and base of bill crimson ; bill light brown ; feet car- 

 mine.] 



Mr. Everett sends a single example, which agrees in every respect 

 with the example obtained in Negros by Dr. B. Meyer, and described 

 by me (Tr. Z. S. ix. p. 218. no. 146) when writing on M. tenui- 

 rostris. A recomparison made with Luzon examples leaves no doubt 

 that the Negros bird is specifically distinct. 



50. TURTUR DUSSUMIERI (147). 



[Valencia, <$ , August. Dumaguete, c? , August.] 



51. Chalcophaps indica (150). 

 [Valencia, d" , August.] 



52. ElJDROMIAS GEOFFROYI (161). 



[Dumaguete, 2 > August : bill black ; legs very pale greenish 

 grey ; feet darker grey.] 



53. Ballina euryzonoides. 



Gallinulce euryzonoides, Lafresn. Bev. Zool. 1845, p. 368; Tweed- 

 dale, P. Z. S. 1877; p. 767. 



[Valencia, 3 , August.] 



New to Negros. The Luzon (Manilla) bird (Tr. Z. S. ix. p. 231. 

 no. 175) has to be compared ; for it is doubtful whether it does not 

 rather belong to this species than to R.fasciata. 



54. HyPOTjENIDIA TORQUATA (177). 



[Valencia, $ , August.] 

 New to Negros. 



55. LlMOSA .bgocephala. 



Scolopax eegocephala, Linn. S. N. i. p. 246. no. 16. 

 [Valencia, August.] 



56. Nycticorax manillensis (198). 



[Dumaguete, 3 , August : iris golden yellow ; bill black, the base, 

 greater part of lower half, and bare orbital skin bright yellow-green ; 

 legs and feet light yellow-green, clouded with olive-green in front, 

 and on the upper surface of toes.]
