764 the marquis of tweeddale on [nov. 20, 



51. Sarcops calvus (129). 



[Cebu, male, April. Iris brown, bare skin dull carmine, bill and 

 legs black.] 



52. Oxycerca everetti. 



Oxycerca everetti, Tweeddale, Ann. & Mag. N. Hist. ser. 4, vol. 

 XX. p. 96. 



[Cebu, male, March. Iris brown, bill black, mandible grey, legs 

 dark grey.] 



Not separable from Luzon examples. Sexes alike. 



.53. Munia JAGORI (132). 



[Cebu, male, Marcli. Iris brown, bill pale grey, legs dark grey.] 



In Mr. Everett's examples (male and female) the black mesial 



band is not confluent with the black of the breast. The species is 



very similar to M. rubrinigra, but has the black on the abdomen 



more fully developed. 



54. OSMOTRERON VERNANS (135). 



[Cebu, male, April. Iris, inner ring light blue, outer ring light 

 ochreous ; bill lead-grey, cere green, feet carmine, nails grey.] 



55. OsMOTRERON AXILLARIS (136). 



[Cebu, male, April. Iris light blue-green, b. Female. Iris blue- 

 green ; bill lead-grey, base dark-red ; feet greenish grey, nails grey.] 



In the adult female the cap is pure grey as in male. In the 

 younger female the crown is dingy green. 



56. Ramphiculus occipitalis (138). 



[Cebu, male and female, April. Iris, pale reddish-brown (female 

 light yellow-brown). Basal half of bill vermilion, apical half yellow ; 

 feet carmine, nails grey tinged yellow.] 



Neither in plumage nor dimensions do the sexes differ. Zebu 

 examples cannot be separated from Luzon individuals. 



57. PhABOTRERON NIGRORXJM. 



Phabotreron nigrorum, Sharpe, Tr. L. S. ser. 2, Zool. i. p. 346. 



Phabotreron leucotis (Temm.), Walden and Layard, Ibis, 1872, 

 p. 104, ex Negros. 



[Cebu, male and female, April. Iris brown, bill black, legs and 

 feet bright carmine, nails grey.] 



The characters whereby Mr. Sharpe separated the Negros form 

 of this genus from the nearly allied P. leucotis of Luzon belong also 

 to the Guimaras and the Zebu birds. 



58. Carpophaga ^nea(141). 



[Cebu, male, March. Iris and orbital ring bright crimson, bill 

 lead-grey, feet dull purplish-crimson.] 



A series of four Cebu individuals cannot be differentiated from 

 Luzon and Negros specimens.
