Celebes ; but the immense range of the species renders it probable 

 that it may be found in both these countries,

Iris brown ; bill brownish black ; tarsus bluish black. Length 

 of adult male and female ]7'5 centims. ; of immature female IJ'O 

 centims. ; wing 8"4 centims. ; of immature female 7".t centims. 

 Shot from April 24th to May 10th, hunting for insects on cultivated 

 ground near the Spanish settlement. The individual b is marked

 is otherwise like the male. The young female has the head ash-

Machlolophus elegans, Wald. Tr. Z. S. vol. ix. part 2, p. 109.

a, (S . Sulu Island. 



b, 2 • Sulu Island. 



Iris brown ; bill and tarsus black. Length of wing 59 centims. 

 In both skins the white spots on the wing are small. An increase 

 in the size of these, and the assumption of the pale scapulars seems 

 to be due to age. 



This species appears to be rare in Sulu, for the two individuals 

 under consideration were the only ones seen. 



37. ZosTEROPS everetti, Tweeddale. 



Zosterops everetti, Tweed. P. Z. S. 1877, pp. 762, 829 ; id. ibid. 

 1878, pp. 1 1 1, 950 ; Sharpe, Cat. B. vol. ix. p. 163. 



Hab. Mindanao, Zebu, and Dinagat {Everett) ; Sulu {Gidlle- 

 mard). 



a, b. S • Sulu Island. 



c, 2 . Sulu Island, 



Iris brown ; upper mandible dark brown, lower whitish ; tarsus 

 light brown. Length circa ll-O ceutuns., wing 5*3 (<:J)-50 ($) 

 centims. 



A comparison with the individuals from the Philippines shows 

 the Sulu bird to be of a brighter yellow, and destitute of any sub- 

 ocular dusky mark.
