﻿324 m'gregor. 



brown, mottled with sandy buff and with 7 or 8 poorly defined bars of sandy 

 buff. Wing, 6.12 inches; tail, 3.22; tarsus, 1.18; culmen from base, 0.95; culmen 

 from anterior margin of cere, 0.62; ear-tuft, 1.15. 



This bird is clearly allied to Strix lempiji Horsfield and doubtless it is closely 

 related to Otus everetti with which it should be compared. The type was the 

 only individual observed. 



Cacatua haematuropygia (P. L. S. Miiller).* 



The collection contains a specimen of the "a-bfi-eay" from Sevilla and one 

 from Guindulman in which localities it is not uncommon. From the vicinity of 

 Tagbilaran it appears to be entirely absent. 



Prioniturus discurus (Vieill.).* 



This racket-tailed parrot was obtained at Sevilla and at Guindulman. Its 

 native name is "ea-gac." 



Tanygnathus lucionensis (Linn.).* 



The "pi-coy" occurs in all the forested areas but is not abundant. 



Loriculus worcesteri Steere. 



Loriculus hartlaubi? Tweeddale. Proc. Zool. Soc. (1878), 709. 



Abundant in coconut groves near Guindulman. The species in Bohol is 

 L. worcesteri not L. apicalis. Native name, "co-si." 



Eurystomus orientalis (Linn.).* 



One specimen from Sevilla; the species was also observed near Guindulman. 



Pelargopsis gigantea Walden.* 



This large kingfisher was rare in the parts of the island visited by us. Two 

 individuals were seen near the beach at Guindulman and a few were observed 

 about fish corrals at the town of Cogtang. Two specimens were collected. 



Alcedo bengalensis Briss. 



Alcedo bengalensis Tweeddale, Proc. Zool. Soc. (1878), 709. 

 Rare; one specimen from Sevilla, March 19. 



Halcyon gularis (Kuhl).* 



The white-chinned kingfisher was not abundant but was obtained near Guindul- 

 man and at Sevilla. 



Halcyon winchelli Sharpe.* 



This species is represented by a single specimen taken near Guindulman on 

 June 4. 



Halcyon chloris (Bodd.). 



Sauropatis chloris Tweeddale, Proc. Zool. Soc. (1878), 709. 



The "ti-ca-rol" was abundant in coconut groves and bamboo clumps. Celestino 

 collected eggs of this species at Tagbilaran, April 26. 



Hydrocorax semigaliatus (Tweed.).* 



This large hornbill was abundant near Sevilla but it was not seen in the 

 vicinity of Tagbilaran. At Guindulman the "cau" was often heard calling in the 

 forest a mile or two distant. 



The natives say that the hornbill calls on the hour, from which arises its 

 Spanish name, "reloj del monte." Of course the bird calls whenever it takes the 

 notion to do so with no reference to the time of day. 



A good series of both adult and young birds was secured. During May the 

 adults were in almost perfect plumage but in June the old rectrices began to 

 drop and the new, white tail feathers began to appear. In the adult the basal
