— Balabac evidently on Everett's record, Palawan on evidence 

 which I do not know. 



Hypothymis occipitalis (Vigors) . 



The black-naped flycatcher was quite common and widely 

 distributed. Records are from all points except Dadagican. 

 Specimens were secured at Brooke's Point. 



Rhipidura nigTitorquis Vigors. 



The only black-and-white fantails that I saw were at Bona- 

 bona on March 25 and 26. In both cases they were in the 

 neighborhood of mangrove swamps. 



Xeocephus cyanescens Sharpe. 



I saw the large blue flycatcher at Brooke's Point and Canda- 

 uaga and in the mountains of the interior, but it was not very 

 abundant at any of these places. Its habitat seemed to be the 

 thickets and second growth of the forest. Specimens were taken 

 at Brooke's Point. 



CAMPOPHAGID^ 



Artamides diflScilis (Hartert), 



The Palawan artamides was common throughout the forest, 

 where it remained in the higher branches. I usually saw the 

 species in pairs, though sometimes singly. It was rather im- 

 passive, neither obtrusive nor retiring. Records are from all 

 points but Dadagican. Specimens are from Brooke's Point. 



Pericrocotus igneus Blyth. 



The brilliant little fiery minivet was observed only at Brooke's 

 Point and Puerto Princesa, at both of which places specimens 

 were taken. Not many individuals were seen. It was always 

 in the deep forest, very active and constantly moving about from 

 place to place. Its note was a rapid twitter much like that of 

 P. cinereus. This latter species I did not see, but since it has 

 been found in Palawan by other workers, it may have been the 

 author of the song on some of the occasions when I heard but 

 could not see the minivets. 



Lalage niger (Forster). 



I saw a few examples of the pied lalage in the forest at 

 Brooke's Point and Candauaga. Although common enough in 

 certain other parts of the Archipelago, this species does not seem 

 to have been recorded from Palawan by many observers.
