referred to that species rather than to the present one. The 

 black pectoral band is quite complete; and the under parts are 

 decidedly rufous, much more so than in several other specimens 

 taken from the same flock as these, and still others from different 

 localities. However, since there are no definite records of H. 

 rustica from Luzon and since the two forms apparently inter- 

 grade, I will leave this note as it stands. (No. 1289, male; No. 

 1287, female.) 



Hinmdo striolata (Boie). 



I found a large colony of mosque swallows nesting under an 

 old bridge at Tiaong, Tayabas Province, Luzon, where I secured 

 four specimens on August 11, 1915. 



Cyomis herioti Ramsay. 



This rare flycatcher was described from northern Luzon, where 

 it was supposed to be restricted. I was accordingly agreeably 

 surprised on March 29, 1914, to find one of them on Mount 

 Maquiling, Laguna Province, at about 305 meters' elevation 

 (1,000 feet). It was alone when taken. (No. 955.) 



Rhipidura hutchinsoni Mearns. 



I have a single female of this fantail, which I took in Bukid- 

 non Province, Mindanao, near Sumilao. This species is confined 

 to Mindanao and has been taken previously only on Mount Ma- 

 lindang at from 1,200 to 2,700 meters (4,000 to 9,000 feet). 

 My specimen was taken at not more than 900 meters (3,000 

 feet) . The Bukidnon natives called this bird ka-tu-pai, although 

 they applied the same name to Xeocephus cinnmnomeus. 

 Mearns says, "chest * * * deep cinnamon," but this part 

 in my specimen is nearer Ridgway's apricot buff. 



Culicicapa helianthea (Wallace). 



This little flycatcher is not rare in certain localities, but is 

 not distributed throughout its range. I found it only on Mount 

 Banahao, Laguna Province, Luzon, and at Sumilao, Bukidnon 

 Province, Mindanao.
