Tachornis pallidior McGregor. 



Three specimens from Butuan, November 9. These differ slightly from 

 tyi^ical specimens in having the back darker and of a less smoky hue, 

 but the difference does not seem to be sufficient for specific separation. 

 This genus has not previously been recorded from Mindanao. 



TROGONID/E. 

 Pyrotrogon ardens (Temminek). 



One pair. 



CUCULID/E. 

 Surniculus velutinus Sharpe. 



Two males were taken in October. 

 Chalcococcyx malayanus (Raffles). 



A female taken at Butuan, September 25, is in every respect similar 

 to a female taken in Basilan. 



Eudynamys mindanensis (Linnoeus). 



An inmiature female in mixed plumage was taken October 4. This 

 specimen is similar to a female from Fuga Island in which the black 

 plumage is partly replaced by the barred and sjjotted plumage of the 

 adult. 



Centropus melanops Lesson. 



One female of this striking cuckoo. 



CAPITONID/E. 

 Xantholaema haemacephalum (P. L. S. Miiller). 



One adult male. 



PICID/E. 

 Yungipicus f ulvifasciatus Hargitt. 



One male. 

 Chrysocolaptes montanus Grant. 



A pair from Butuan. I have compared these two with specimens of 

 C. lucidus from Basilan and with C. rufopunctatus from Bohol, and 

 believe that they are specimens of Grant's C. montanus. The male has 

 the shaft of one tail-feather dirty white. 



Lichtensteinipicus fuliginosus (Tweeddale) . 



One pair of adult birds and one young female. The latter resembles 

 the adult female, but lacks the wMte tips on feathers of throat and head 

 which are indicated by faint, gi-ay spots. 



EURYL/EMID/E. 

 Sarcophanops steeri Sharpe. 



Two males and one female from Butuan.
