Tbis paper consists of a discussion of the zoological relationships of the 

 various Island groups based upon the eTidenee furnished by their birds. 

 The divisions are mainly the same as those advocated by Steere, but Bohol 

 is grouped "with Leyte instead of with Cebu. Gebu is separated from the 

 central islands, and Balabac and Palawan with the Calamianes are shown 

 to- be more closely related to Borneo than to the rest of the Philippines. 

 The conclusions reached are too extended to be repeated here. Steere's law 

 of distribution is fully discussed and shown to be iinWarranted by the 

 evidence. The factors of the origin and distribution of the genera and 

 species of resident Philippine land birds are set forth in considerable detail; 

 the conclusions are too lengthy for repetition. A bibliography concludes the 

 paper. Plate 55 is a map of the Philippine Islands. The remaining plates 

 are diagrammatic.

This is a most useful list; the species and islands are arranged in tabular 

 form with indication of the species collected by the Menage Expedition.
