Salangana whiteheadi (Grant). 



A male from Danao, July 27, must be referred to this species as the tail is 

 forked and the tarsi are devoid of plumes. 



Salangana troglodytes Gray. 



Abundant in the forest near Toledo. One specimen preserved is slightly 

 albinistic. 



Salangana marginata Salvad. 



A male from Danao, July 26. A nesting colony was found near Toledo. The 

 nests were composed of sandy mud and were plastered against the face of perpen- 

 dicular cliffs in a narrow gorge. A few birds were building in a small rocky cave. 

 At the time of my visit to the colony there were some twenty nests in process of 

 construction and none contained eggs so far as could be determined. 



Tachornis pallidior McGregor. 



At Danao the paler palm swift was observed in small numbers over or near the 

 town and a small series was collected. This species was also observed feeding 

 over sugar cane fields near Toledo. The palm swift was never detected near forest 

 where flocks of Salangana marginata and S. linchi were seen almost daily. 



Cacomantis merulinus (Scop.). 

 One from Danao. 



Centropus viridis (Scop.). 

 Noted at Danao and Toledo. 



Xantholaema roseum (Dumont). 



A female from Toledo where the species was not uncommon ; a male was taken 

 at Danao, July 26. 



Yungipicus maculatus (Scop.). 

 Three specimens from Toledo. 



Thriponax javensis (Horsf.). 

 Taken near Toledo. 



Pitta atricapilla Less. 

 Taken at Danao. 



Hirundo gutturalis Scop. 



Abundant in the vicinity of Toledo. 



Hirundo javanica Sparrm. 

 One specimen from Toledo. 



Hirundo striolata Boie. 



Specimens of the mosque swallow were secured at Toledo on September 28 and 

 againt on November 12. The specimens are in freshly moulted plumage and do 

 not differ in any detail from specimens of this type collected in Calayan Island. 8 

 It is possible that the mosque swallow inhabiting the Philippine Islands may take 

 rank as a geographical race as yet unnamed, but it is impossible for me to 

 characterize such a race wihout typical specimens of striolata, japonica, etc. 



Cyornis philippi nensis Sharpe. 



Not uncommon ; one from Danao and two from Toledo. 



Hypothymis occipitalis (Vig.). 

 Fairly abundant.
