418 DR. F. H. H GUILLliMARD ON BIRDS COLLECTED [Apr. 21, 



The entire collection obtained upon the island numbers but fifteen 

 species. Setting aside seven of these as being of wide distribution, 

 we have eight species remaining. Of these, two only are Philippine — 

 Tanygnathus luzoniensis, and a Co Zo?'hw, which, though not specifically 

 separable from C. panai/ensis, is of markedly larger dimensions. 

 Two — Chibia pecto)-alis and Carpophaga pickeringi — occur, so far as 

 we know, neither in Borneo nor the Phihppines, but are found in the 

 Sulu Islands; three of the remaining four are purely Bornean ; and 

 the last is a new species of Mixornis, probably peculiar to the island. 

 It is interesting therefore to note that, while to the westward 

 Cagayau Sulu is connected by siiallow soundings with the great 

 coral-reefs at the north of Borneo, to the east it is separated from 

 the Sulu Archipelago by a comparatively deep sea. 



1. Tanygnathus luzoniensis, Linnaeus. 



a, b. c? • 



Iris yellow ; bill scarlet ; tarsus olive-green. The blue of the 

 head is much brighter than in examples from Sulu Island, and is 

 more extensive, occupying the vertex instead of being confined to 

 the occipital region. A specimen from Lapac Island in the Sulu 

 Archipelago is intermediate in this respect between the Sulu and 

 Cagayan Sulu birds. The present examples have the under surface 

 more strongly washed with golden yellow. The natives keep this 

 species in captivity. 



2. Sauropatis chloris, Boddaert. 

 a, b. (S . 



Iris brown ; bill leaden black, base of lower mandible whitish ; 

 feet brown. Abundant on the sea-shore and at the crater-lakes. 



3. EuDYNAMis malayana, Cabauis. 

 a,b. (S . 



Iris in male crimson ; bill pea-green ; feet and tarsus olive- 

 green. Length of male 41"0 centims. Agrees with Bornean skins. 



4. Centrococcyx eurycercus. Hay. 



a. d • 



Iris brown ; bill black ; tarsus lead-coloured. This species has 

 been recorded from Palawan by Mr. Everett. 



5. Lalage terat, Boddaert. 

 a. (S . 



Iris yellow ; bill and feet black. Not distinguishable from 

 Bornean or Philippine examples, but peculiar in having a yellow iris. 



6. Chibia pectoralis, Wallace. 

 a-c. d . 



d. 2- 



Iris ruddy brown in a, brown in the female d ; in the others I 

 have made no note of the colour. Bill and tarsus black. A close 

 comparison with skins from Sulu Island which, from the presence of
