 One male and two females.

 Sarcops melanonotus Grant. 



The only specimen of bald starling in the coUeetion from Butuan is 

 undoubtedly of the black-backed race. 



CORVID/E. 

 Corvus samarensis Steeie. 



A female crow from Butuan, October 18, is identified as C. samarensis 

 without Samar specimens for examination. The measurements of this 

 Butuan skin are nearly the same as those given by Steere for C. samar- 

 ensis. The species has not been taken before in Mindanao, so far as 

 known.
