1054 The American Naturalist. [ December, 
ficiently, I wrote a description of the zamarou and forwarded it 
to Professor Sclater, secretary of the Zoological Society of Lon- 
don. He published a part of the description in Mature, of 
August, 1888, and the full description in the “ Proceedings of 
the Zoological Society of 1889.” I then made a trip to the La 
Laguna de Bay, a great, shallow lake, some fifteen miles in length, 
and lying twenty miles east of Manila, toward the mountains, where 
there was some timber. I collected a few days, and, with the aid 
of native hunters, got a fair representation of Luzon birds, in spite 
of continual rain, which rendered the roads of the country impas- 
sible for horses. I then returned to Manila, and as soon as pos- 
sible to Hong Kong, and from there home, by way of Japan and 
San Francisco. .
