50. Calliope camtschatkensis (107). 



[Monte Alban. cf: iris dark brown; bill black, grey at base; 

 legs and feet purplish grey.] 



51. Phylloscopus borealis. 



Phydopneuste borealis, Blasius, Naumannia, 1S58, p. 313. 

 Phylloscopus magnirostris, Blyth, apud BIyth, Ibis, 1870, p. 168 • 

 Walden, t.c no. 109. 



[Monte Alban. a, S : iris brown ; maxilla dark brown ; mandible 

 yellow ; legs and claws pale clear brown. 



San Mateo, b, S : iris dark brown ; legs raw- sienna brown ; 

 maxilla dark horn-brown ; mandible horn yellow, c, 5 : iris brown ; 

 legs yellow-brown ; bill brown ; lower half yellow.] 



As I anticipated (t. c), the Phylloscopus from the Philippines, 

 identified by Mr. Blyth with P. magnirostris, proves to belong to P. 

 borealis. Four examples were obtained by Mr. Everett, in the month 

 of February. The first alar bar is almost obsolete ; but Mr. Dresser 

 has no doubt that they belong to P. borealis, and they agree well 

 with my own series of that species. 



52. OrTHOTOMUS DERBIANUS (112). 



[Monte Alban. a, S • iris bright clay-brown ; bill sepia ; the 

 mandible pale grey; legs and nails pale clear brown, b, S: iris 

 bright clay-brown ; bill dark brown ; mandible grey ; legs very pale 

 transparent brown.] 



Moore accurately described this species of Orthotomus ; but in the 

 figure the wings are coloured of too vivid a green. The wings are 

 yellow-green. 



53. Budytes viRiDis (114). 

 [Monte Alban in February.] 



54. CaLOBATES MELANOPE (115). 



[Monte Alban. a, S : iris brown ; bill light Vandyke brown ; legs

 brown ; bill dark lead-grey ; legs pale transparent brownish grey.
