﻿NOTE ON A BIRD UNRECORDED FROM MINDANAO. 



By Richard C. McGregor. 



Rhabdornis inornata Grant. 



JRhaidornis inornatus Grant, Bull. Brit. Ornith. Club (1890), 6, 18; Ibis 

 (1897), 3, 235 pi. 6, fig. 2. 



This species has been met with in Samar only, where Whitehead took 

 three males, the female to the present time remaining unknown. In a 

 collection recently received from Chaplain Joseph Clemens, United 

 States Army, is a female bird evidently of this species. It agrees quite 

 closely with the colored plate of the male but differs in having top of 

 head dull-brown instead of dark-gray. This specimen was taken near 

 Camp Keithley, Lake Lanao, Mindanao, on May 3, 1907, and yields the 

 following measurements: Wing, 3.50 inches; tail, 2.26; exposed eulmen, 

 0.64; tarsus, 0.80; middle toe with claw, 0.89.
