Lophotriorchis kieneri Sliaipe. 



A- female of this siDecies, killed October 13, held in its claws a 

 Tanygnatlius everetti. Both birds were preserved. 



Spilornis holospilus (Vigors). 

 One male specimen. 



Pernis ptilorhyncus (Temminek). 



A male in perfect i^lumage was taken, October 31. 



Microhierax meridional is Grant. 



A pair taken in Butuan, September 18. The male does not have the 

 characters given by Grant, as the inner webs of the primaries are 

 conspicuously barred with white. This barring is probably a character 

 of the yoimg and I doubt the validity of the species M. meridionalis.

One specimen of this powerful fishing eagle was collected near Butuan, 

 Mindanao. A young female was taken near K"aujan, Mindoro.
