2. Cyclopsitta lunula ta (4). 



[San Mateo. c? : iris dark brown ; bill black, base pale lead- 

 grey ; feet greenish grey ; nails dark grey.] 



The male example is in full dress and in P.-loxia plumage. The 

 female has a few verditer-blue chin-, chest-, and throat-plumes, and 

 some of the rump-feathers obscurely lunated — seemingly an imma- 

 ture specimen. 



3. MiCROHIERAX ERYTHROGENYS. 



Hierax erythrogenys (10). 



[Monte Alban. $ : iris brown ; bill black ; feet dull bluish ; 

 claws black.] 



Obtained in February. In black and white dress ; and as Mr. 

 Everett has ascertained the sex to be female, it would seem that the 

 erythrogenys plumage is significant of nonage and not of sex. 



4. Spilornis holospilus (16). 



[Monte Alban. a, S '• iris golden-yellow ; bill dark grey ; orbital 

 akin and lores bright yellow-green; cere ditto; claws black; legs yellow. 



San Mateo, h, $ : iris golden-yellow; bill dark plumbeous ; orbital 

 skin and lores bright greenish-yellow ; cere ditto, but greener ; legs 

 light chrome-yellow ; claws black.] 



5. Haliastur intermedius (17). 



[San Mateo. d" juv. : iris warm brown ; bill greenish-lead, cere 

 darker ; feet greenish yellow, almost white.] 



6. BUTASTUR INDICUS (20). 



[San Mateo, a, ^ : iris golden yellow ; bill chrome-yellow at 

 the base, rest black ; cere chrome ; legs dull chrome-yellow ; claws 

 black, b, S ■ iris bright yellow ; cere chrome-yellow ; bill black i 

 legs dull chrome; claws black.] 



7. Thriponax javensis (28). 



[Monte Alban. d : bill black ; feet and claws lead-grey.] 



8. Chrysocolaptes h^matuibon (30). 



[San Mateo, a, cT : iris Indian red ; bill greenish black ; feet 

 pale dull greenish ; claws very dark grey. 



Monte Alban. b, S : iris deep crimson ; bill greenish black ; 

 feet greenish grey.] 



9. YuNGiPicus maculatus (33). 



[Monte Alban, a, cS : iris brown ; bill black ; legs greenish. 

 b, $ : iris light brown ; bill lead-grey ; legs greenish lead-grey.] 



Sonnerat's type was obtained in Panay ; but these Luzon individuals 

 agree well with his description. He mentions that his example " n'a 

 point de rouge,'' but that perhaps he had only seen a female. 

 The male sent by Mr. Everett possesses a crimson tuft springing 

 from behind the eye. The species is nearly allied to Y. fusco-
