Arachnothera flammifera Tweed.* 



The flame-tufted spider-hunter was observed at Sevilla only, where four males 

 were taken, March 27 to April 18. 



Motacilla melanope Pall.* 



A specimen from Sevilla, April 5. 



Budytes leucostriatus Horn. 



Budytes viridis Tweeddale, Proc. Zool. Soc. (1878), 710. 

 Taken by Everett in northern Bohol ; not seen by us. 



Anthus rufulus Vieill. 



Gorydalla lugubris Tweeddale, Proc. Zool. Soc. (1878), 710. 

 Anthus rufulus Steeee, List Phil. Bds. (1890), 21. 

 Abundant in all suitable localities. 



Anthus gustavi Swinh.* 



This species was observed at Sevilla only, where a male and two females 

 were taken in March. 



Alauda wattersi Swinh. 



Alauda wattersi Tweeddale, Proc. Zool. Soc. (1878), 710. 



A male, probably breeding, was killed on a grassy plain near Guindulman, 

 June 8. 



Muni a jagori Martens. 



Munia jagori Tweeddale, Proc. Zool. Soc. (1878), 710. 



Munia atricapilla Steere, List Phil. Bds. (1890), 23. 



The "ma-ja" (English sound of j) occurs in great numbers and after the 

 nesting season congregates in flocks when it inflicts much damage on standing 

 rice. With a load of number 12 shot, 29 birds were killed from a small flock 

 without causing any apparent decrease in its size; the larger flocks must contain 

 several hundred individuals. 



Uroloncha everetti (Tweed.).* 



Rare in the localities visited by us; one specimen from Sevilla and another 

 from Guindulman. 



Oriolus chinensis Linn. 



Broderipus acrorhynchus Tweeddale, Proc. Zool. Soc. (1878), 710. 



At Tagbilaran and Sevilla the name "tu-li-hao" is applied to this species, 

 while in Guindulman it is better known as "da-mud-lao," and the latter name was 

 heard at Garcia Hernandez. 



Dicrurus striatus Tweed.* 



Abundant in all suitable localities. Two young, each 8 inches in length, 

 from Sevilla, April 8, differ from the adult in having top of head dead black and 

 under parts dark smoky brown with no gloss. A somewhat larger young bird 

 (9.2 inches) was taken at Guindulman, June 1. 



Sarcops melanonotus Grant.* 



Sarcops calvus McGregor and Worcester, Hand-list Philippine Birds (1906), 

 109 (part). 



Sarcops melanonotus Grant, Ibis (1906), ser. 8, 6, 469. 



Birds from Bohol belong to the newly described race Sarcops melanonotus 

 Grant, yet some individuals from that island are scarcely to be distinguished from 

 true S. calvus. The two races of bald starlings present somewhat the same dif- 

 ficulty as do Cinnyris aurora and C. jugularis, there being islands in which 

 the birds seem to be intermediate between the well-marked extremes. In certain
