 each feather of alula and greater coverts with a subterminal spot of oeherous-

Acrocephalus oriental is (Temm. & Schl.). 



A female was taken at Toledo, November 13, and another the next day. 



Cisticola exilis (Vig. & Horsf.). 



One specimen from Danao; common. 



Megalurus ruficeps Tweedd. 

 Fairly abundant near Toledo. 



Acanthopneuste borealis (Bias.). 



The northern willow warbler was not abundant in Cebu, but two specimens 

 being taken, October 15 and 19 respectively. 



Artamus leucorhynchus (Linn.). 

 Noted at Danao and Toledo. 



Cephalophoneus nasutus (Scop.). 



A male in fresh plumage from Toledo. October 30. 



Otomela lucionensis (Linn.). 



A male with pale-gray forehead is typical of the species : another specimen, 

 female, October 18, has the entire upper parts dark, slightly reddish-brown, 

 obsoletely cross-barred; sides of throat and breast, flanks, and thighs with 

 dusky, V-shaped bars, strongly suggestive of immaturity. 



Hyloterpe winchelli Bourns & Worcester. 



Three specimens of Winchell's thick-head were obtained near Toledo. 



Pardaliparus elegans (Less.). 



At Danao an adult male of this titmouse was taken July 30. Near Toledo 

 another adult male was taken, October 24, and two young birds were collected, 

 September 26 and October 24, respectively. 



Call isitta oenochlamys (Sharpe). 

 A male from Toledo, October 19. 



Zosterops everetti Tweeddale. 

 A pair from Danao, July 30. 



Dicseum papuense (Gmel.). 



Abundant and usually found feeding at the fruit of wild fig trees (Fiats sp.) 



Dicseum pal I idior Bourns & Worcester. 



This species is the most common member of the family Dicairhe in Cebu. It is 

 closely related to Dicaum dorsale but appears to deserve recognition. It is quite 

 probable that the name Dicuaum flavwenter refers to the same species but from 

 lack of literature I am unable to determine which name has priority.
