Dicaeum pygmaeum (Kittlitz). 



An adult male from Toledo, October 18. 



Prionochilus quadricolor Tweedd. 



This handsome species is rare and strictly confined to the forest. Of over 50 

 specimens of Dicaidce collected by us in Cebu only five are of this species. An 

 adult male agrees with the original description 1 - but the head and neck are black, 

 slightly glossed with blue, not "dull black." The plate is faulty in showing too 

 much yellow on the rump and not enough red on the interscapulars; the latter 

 are clear red with no mixture of yellow. A young male taken October 15, has 

 the lower parts like the adult but upper parts and tips of tertiaries and greater 

 coverts dull olive-green. 



/Ethopyga magnifica Sharpe. 



This large and beautiful sun bird was fairly abundant in small bushes along- 

 forest streams. Its song, though not elaborate is very sweet and pleasing. 

 Specimens from Cebu do not differ in any respect from examples collected in 



Si buy an. 



/Ethopyga bonita Bourns & Worcester. 

 A male and a female from near Toledo. 



Ci nnyris jugularis (Linn.). 

 One specimen taken at Danao. 



Anthreptes chlorigaster Sharpe. 

 Only a male and a female obtained. 



Motacilla melanope Pall. 



This wagtail was seen daily in the vicinity of Toledo. 



Budytes leucostriatus Horn. 



A pair in plan winter plumage taken on the beach near Toledo, September 29. 



Anthus gustavi Swinh. 



One specimen from near Toledo, October 29. 



Passer montanus (Linn.). 



This introduced sparrow has become well established in the town of Cebu and 

 was observed at Danao. It was not observed on the west coast. 



Munia jagori Martens. 



Jagor's rice-bird was found breeding in numbers near Toledo and several nests 

 containing fresh eggs were taken from screw pines (Pandanus) on September 28. 



Oriolus chinensis Linn. 



One of the more common species in Cebu. 



Oriolus assimilis Tweedd. 



This forest oriole was not uncommon near Toledo. While it is plainly of the 

 Oriolus steerei type it differs in being larger, in the much darker and greener 

 upper parts and under tail-coverts, in the darker throat and breast, in the wider 

 black markings of abdomen, and in the reduced yellow tips of rectrices. 



Adult male, October 13. Irides, bright red; bill, dull red-brown; feet, lead- 

 blue; nails, black. Immature male, October 13. Irides white; bill brown; legs 

 lead blue; nails black.
