For the sake of completeness I have included in the present list all 

 species recorded by Tweeddale and Steere as well as the 91 additional 

 species obtained by us; the latter are indicated by an asterisk (*) follow- 

 ing the name. I have also indicated the few species not seen by us and 

 have given references to all the records by Tweeddale and by Steere. 

 Five of the species appear to be new and are described as Turnix celes- 

 tinoi, Phapiireron albifrons, Otus bolwlemis, Zosterops lieta, and Eudre- 

 I inn is decor osa. 



Before giving the list of birds known from Bohol I will indicate 

 briefly the evidence in favor of uniting this island with Samar-Leyte 4 

 rather than with Cebu. Worcester 5 has pointed out that the affinities 

 of the Bohol faunas are with Leyte and not with Cebu. The much 

 greater amount of material now available fully confirms his opinion. 

 I will first give a list of characteristic genera which, so far as known, 

 have no representatives in Cebu, but which are now known from Bohol 

 and from the islands east and south of it (Samar-Leyte, and Mindanao). 



CHARACTERISTIC GENERA REPRESENTED IN BOHOL AND ABSENT EROM CEBU. 



Tiydrocorax. Zosteromis. 



Penelopides. Macronus. 



Pyrotrogon. Orthotomus. 



Chrysocolaptes. Eudrepanis. 



Rhinomyias. A inch not]) em. 

 Poliolophus. 



In addition to the striking difference shown by the above list is the 

 evidence afforded by several genera common to the two islands, but 

 having well-marked representative species. 



GENERA COMMON TO CEBU AND BOHOL WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE 

 SPECIES KNOWN FROM EACH ISLAND. 



CEBU. BOHOL. 



Phapitreron frontalis. P. amethistina. 



Phapitreron nigrorum. P. albifrons. 



Loriculus chrysonotus. L. ivorcesteri. 



Yungipicus maculatus. Y. leytensis. 



Cryptolopha cebuensis. C. olivacea. 



Artamides cebuensis. A. kochi. 



Ilyloterpe winclielli. H. apoensis. 



Zosterops everetti. Z. Iceta. 



Dicceum pallidior. D. cinereigidare. 



Prionochilus quadricolor. P. inexpectatus. ■ 



4 The differences between the birds of Samar and Leyte are so unimportant that 

 for the purpose of this paper these islands are treated as one.
