of a dozen or more. However, it was rather shy and hard to 

 approach. My notes were made at Brooke's Point, Candauaga, 

 Bonabona, and Puerto Princesa. Specimens were taken at 

 Brooke's Point and Puerto Princesa. 



Trichophorus f rater (Sharpe). 



The gray-throated hairy bulbul was quite common in the lower 

 growths of the forest and about the fruit trees. It was given 

 to a desultory sort of song of a somewhat conversational nature 

 though hardly musical. Specimens were taken at Brooke's Point 

 and Candauaga and the species was seen at all points visited 

 except Dadagican. 



Pycnonotus cinereifrons (Tweeddale). 



The ashy-fronted bulbul was apparently less common than 

 the preceding species, yet the lack of more records may have 

 been on account of the birds' secretiveness, which sent them into 

 the depths of the thickets at the slightest alarm and probably 

 put them in hiding many times before I caught sight of them. 

 Records and specimens are from Brooke's Point, Candauaga, and 

 Bonabona. 



TIMALIID^ 



Tnrdinus nififrons (Tweeddale) . 



I took two rufous-headed babblers at Brooke's Point and in 

 the mountains shot one other, which was unfit to preserve. The 

 species is reported to be a good whistler, but the individuals that 

 I saw were silent. 



Mixornis woodi Sharpe. 



The Palawan tit babbler was very common over most of the 

 region and was found about brush piles and in the thickets and 

 undergrowths of both the deep forest and the more open country. 

 It was quite fearless and could be approached rather closely. It 

 was a very active little bird, almost constantly poking about 

 its favorite haunts, usually close to the ground. My records 

 are from all localities except Sarong and Dadagican. Specimens 

 were taken at Brooke's Point only. 



TURDID^ 



Petrophila manillensis (J. R. Forster). 



Eastern rock thrushes were fairly common in Palawan, about 

 as numerous as in the rest of the Archipelago. I saw individ- 

 uals at all localities except Sarong and Dadagican.
