LIST OF BIRDS COLLECTED BY THE STEERE 

 EXPEDITION TO THE PHILIPPINES, WITH LO- 

 CALITIES AND WITH BRIEF PRELIMINARY 

 DESCRIPTIONS OF SUPPOSED NEW SPECIES. 



For convenience of reference the same arrangement of 

 orders and families has been used as in Sharpe's and Lord 

 Walden's published lists of Philippine birds. The names 

 of genera have been made to agree with those given in the 

 British Museum Catalogue of Birds, as far as that has 

 been issued. As the supposed new species are in almost 

 all cases representative forms, each strictly limited to one 

 or several adjacent islands, they have been named, as far 

 as possible, to show their distribution. The names of 

 distinct islands only are given in the localities collected 

 from. In the few cases where collections were made from 

 more than one place in a single island, these were gener- 

 ally so near together and so similar in conditions that they 

 showed little difference in fauna. The islands are given in 

 the order in which they were visited and collected in, and 

 the date at which a species was collected, in any island, 

 can be readily made out from the following schedule : 



Paragua, August and September, 1887. Mindanao, 

 October. Basilan, November. Mindanao, again in Decem- 

 ber. Guimaras, December. Panay, January, 1888. Ne- 

 gros and Siquijor, February. Cebu and Bojol, March. 

 Samar and Leyte, April. Masbate and Marinduque, May. 

 Mindoro, June. Luzon, July.
