BIRDS FROM NORTHERN NEGROS. 43 



In five specimens there is a wide, bufly white band across the rump, in 

 one male the white band in narrow, and in one female most of the back 

 and uropygiiim ai'e bare. The lower mandible in all these Negros speci- 

 mens is whitish. The Masbate and Negros birds appear to be of the 

 same species and they must be called T. hargitti unless Steere's T. philip- 

 pinensis can be shown to be distinct from the Thrlponax of Palawan.
