Abiilug Eiver, August 21 to 86. — The Abiilug Eiver enters the sea on 

 the northern coast of Luzon at a distance of some twenty-five kilometers 

 from the mouth of the Eio Grande de Cagayan. Wliile Mr. Worcester and 

 his party went to the headwaters of the river for the purpose of visiting 

 a tribe of mountain people, I was left with my assistants at a camp a few 

 kilometers from the coast. This part of the valley is covered with thick, 

 lowland jungle, and the difficulties of travel by land are increased by 

 masses of debris brought down by the yearly floods which cover large 

 areas with water from two to five meters in depth. The most interest- 

 ing birds secured in the vicinity of the camp were Halcyon Undsayi, 

 male and female, and a specimen of Ilyloterpe albiventris. In the fol- 

 lowing list an asterisk indicates that specimens were collected :

Claveria, August 27. — Claveria is a small town on the northern coast 

 of Luzon, some thirty-five kilometers northwest of the mouth of the 

 Abiilug Eiver. There is considerable forest in the vicinity of this- town, 

 where large hombills {Hydrocorax) were heard calling. The only birds 

 collected at Claveria were Artamides striatus (Boddaert) and Anthreptes 

 griseigularis Tweeddale. 



Northeastern coast of Luzon, August 28 and 29. — Between Cape En- 

 gano and Palanan several brief landings were made at places for which 

 no names appear on charts. There was not sufficient time to get into 

 the forest at any of these points and veiy little of interest was found 

 near the beach. A pair of Orthorhamphus magnirostris (Vieillot) and 

 several examples of Ardea sumatrana Eaffles were seen at our fifth 

 landing.
