I have never met with authentic Philippine examples of any Pied Wagtail; and 
I am therefore unable to identify Sonnerat’s species (cf. Swinhoe, P. Z. 8. 1870, 
p- 120).

Hab. Guimaras, March (Meyer). 
Above, the general ground-colour is olive-grey, each feather broadly centred with 
brown, most marked on the headand nape. The rump, upper tail-coverts, and shoulder- 
coverts are almost uniform olive-grey, the brown centres not being very evident. The 
whole of the wing-feathers are brown edged with albescent. The first primary con- 
spicuously edged with greyish albescent, as in C. richardi and C. rufula. Between the 
base of the bill and the eye is a bald patch of albescent feathers, which are continued 
over the eye rather more narrowly, and then dilate into a broad albescent stripe above 
the ear-coverts. Lores brown, bordered underneath by an albescent stripe, which extends 
below the eye and loses itself in the cheek. Ear-coverts dark brown. Under surface 
of body albescent. Throat almost pure white. A few of the breast-feathers with 
narrow dark brown centres. Middle pair of rectrices brown, with albescent fringes ; 
outer pair almost pure white; penultimate pair white, with half of the inner web 
brown; remaining pairs brown. A narrow brown line follows the rami of the mandible. 
Legs yellow; maxilla brown; mandible yellowish. Neither example exhibits a trace 
of rufous or ferruginous. The bill is thicker than in C. rufula (ex Malacca), of which 
species this Guimaras bird is a representative. 
Wing 3 inches; tail 2°50; bill, from nostril 0°37; tarsus 1:12; hind claw 0°50. 
This Pipit is closely allied to Corydalla hasseltii, Temm.', ex Borneo, of Gray’s Hand- 
list, no. 3655; but, judging from the single example so entitled in the British Museum, 
the Bornean species differs sufficiently to make a comparison with a greater number of 
individuals desirable. 
Corydalla infuscata, Blyth (J. A. 8. B. 1861, p. 96, “ Philippines”), was described 
from a Foochow-hills specimen, a small and dark-plumaged race of C. richardi, sent by 
Mr. Swinhoe to Mr. Blyth (ef. Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1863, p. 272, no. 75). 
? Apparently a Museum title. No description of the species has hitherto appeared.
