﻿326 m'gregor. 



Five specimens. A male from Tagbilaran, May 2, has a pure, white feather 

 on the mantle and one wing feather partly white. 



Centropus javanicus (Dumont).* 



Four specimens from Sevilla and from Guindulman. This species has not 

 been recorded from Bohol although so given in McGregor and Worcester's Hand- 

 List. 



Centropus melanops Lesson.* 



The black-eyed cuckoo was abundant at Sevilla and at Guindulman. 



Yungipicus leytensis Steere.* 



This little woodpecker is represented by a single male specimen taken near 

 Tagbilaran on April 27. In Bohol all species of woodpeckers are called "ba-toc." 



Chrysocolaptes rufopunctatus Hargitt.* 



Three males and three females were obtained in Bohol. Steere n describes 

 Chrysocolaptes samarensis (= C. rufopunctatus) very aptly as "curiously interme- 

 diate between C. haematrebon and lucidus, having the back of one and the ventral 

 surface of the other, but the crimson marking of the face separates it from either." 



These three species are of nearly the same size but rufopunctatus has the 

 heaviest and longest bill and lucidus has the shortest and most slender bill. C. 

 lucidus is also distinguished by having the lower mandible light yellowish green, 

 while in the two other species the bill is uniform black or blackish brown. 



Thriponax pectoralis Tweed.* 



Sevilla, April IT, one adult male in full plumage; Guindulman, May 30, and 

 June 8, two adult males in worn plumage; June 2, one immature male in good 

 plumage. In the three adult specimens a number of feathers on each side of the 

 forebreast have narrow crimson tips. 



Pitta erythrogaster Temm.* 



The red-bellied pitta was observed at Guindulman only, where three specimens 

 were taken in June. 

 Pitta atricapilla Lesson.* 



The black-headed pitta was found to be abundant at all the points visited. 



Pitta steerei Sharpe.* 



An adult male of Steere's pitta was taken at Sevilla, April 17, an adult female 

 was killed the next day, and a slightly immature female was taken April 7. At 

 Guindulman but one bird was seen, a female, taken June 6.

 heavily intubated eggs was found July 11. The nest was plastered to the roof of 

 a small waveworn cave. The eggs are white, dotted with reddish and blackish 

 brown, and a few under shell markings of lavender. The eggs measure 0.70 by 

 0.49; 0.70 by 0.49; 0.69 by 0.49. 



Hirundo striolata Boie.* 



This attractive swallow was first observed in Bohol by Celestino, who saw

 was killed near the church and the next day two were killed at Garcia Hernandez.
