PYCNONOTIDy^. 

 Chloropsis flavipennis ( Tweeddale ) . 



One female from Butixan, October 14, in worn plumage. Wing, 87 

 mm.; tail, 72; exposed culmen, 21. This is the most interesting speci- 

 men in the present collection as it confirms the record made by Blasius 

 which for a long time was considered a mistake. Fortunately we are 

 enabled to compare this interesting specimen directly with skins of 

 C. flavipennis from Cebu. The Butuan skin is a little darker green than 

 the Cebu skins, but with the material at hand there are no grounds for 

 separating the Mindanao bird. 



lole philippensis (Gmelin). 



One male and one female. 

 lole everetti (Tweeddale). 



One male in fine plumage from Butuan. 

 Poliolophus urostictus (Salvadori). 



One specimen, October 5. 

 Pycnonotus goiavier (Scopoli). 



One specimen. 



TIMELIID/E. 

 Ptilocichia mindanensis Steeie. 



One male and two females. This species differs very slightly from 

 P. hasilanica. In the latter species the back is more olivaceous-brown, 

 but there is no appreciable difference in the size of the two species. 



Zosterornis capitalis (Tweeddale). 



Seventeen specimens, including adults and young of both sexes. The 

 young birds, ta.ken in September, differ from the adults in having chin, 

 throat, and rest of under parts white, faintly gray on sides of breast; 

 forehead and fore part of crown ocherous, the shafts lighter and con- 

 spicuous. Specimens from Basilan are slightly larger than those from 

 Mindanao but the difference is trifling. 



Macronous mindanensis Steeie. 

 Several specimens collected. 



SYLVIID>E. 



Orthotomus frontalis Sliarpe. 



One male from Cagayan and a pair from Butuan. 

 Orthotomus nigriceps Tweeddale. 



Two adult males and two young females from Butuan. One of 

 the young birds has the chin and throat spotted with white. The other 

 young bird has chin and throat almost all white. As pointed out by
