 species. 



NECTARINIID/C. 

 /Ethopyga bella Tweeddale. 



Two young males in molt, three females in good plumage, and one 

 immature female. JSTeither of the males shows all the specific characters, 

 but I do not hesitate to identify them as /E. hella, the type of which 

 came from Surigao.

Two adult males of this handsome little sunbird were taken in October.

 yellow on chin, throat, and breast. Eudreimnis piilcherrima has not been 

 previously recorded from Mindanao.
