Female- 





Pratincola caprata (Linnaeus). 

 One male and one female. 



SYLVIID/E. 



Megalurus tweeddalei McGregor. 



One specimen. 



LANIlb/E. 



Hyloterpe winchelli Bourns and Worcester. 



Three males and two females. 



PARID/E. 

 Pardaliparus elegans (Lesson). 



One male, March 19, and one female, Januar_y 29, from Cadiz, do not 

 differ from specimens taken in Bataan Province, Luzon. 



SITTID/E. 

 Callisitta cenochlamys (Sharpe). 

 One male and two females. 



CERTHIID/E. 

 Rhabdornis mystacalis (Temminck). 



A male, the only specimen of Rhabdornis in the present collection, 

 differs from specimens taken in Luzon in having the bill conspicuously 

 longer, the feet larger, and the color of the back and rump darker. If 

 additional specimens from Xegros show; that these characters are constant, 

 the species may be known as Rhabdornis longirostris. 



ZOSTEROPID/E. 



Zosterops nigrorum Tweeddale. 



Two specimens ; one of these is slightly albinistic, having five rectrices 

 white, washed with pale yellowish green. 



I have long suspected that a series of birds of this genus, collected 

 by me on the little island of Cresta de Gallo, represented a distinct 

 species. With topotypes of Zosterops nigrorum at hand I still hesitate 

 to separate the Cresta de Gallo individuals as a species, although in the 

 latter the wing, tail, and bill average longer and the color of the upper 

 parts is more uniform and more yellowish.
