plastered to the underside of the cement dock, but we could 
make no further observations as we were just leaving for Manila. 
I believe this is the first observation of the nesting of this 
species in Luzon. 
Zanthopygia narcissina (Temminck). 
My Philippine record of the narcissus flycatcher was based 
upon a female specimen from Calayan Island. This was not 
included in my report on the Calayan collection, 8 but was noted 
later. 9 As there appear to be only two Philippine records for 
this species, I thought it worth while to have my determination 
verified. The specimen, No. 3766, Bureau of Science collection, 
was accordingly sent to the United States National Museum 
where Mr. J. H. Riley confirmed my identification. 
Malindangia mcgregori Mearns. Plate 4. 
The plate of this species published herewith is from a male 
topotype in the Bureau of Science collection, No. 12907. The 
only specimens known are those collected by Mearns on Mount 
Malindang, Mindanao, in 1906. 
Turdus chrysolaus Temminck. 
Mr. W. Parsons has a male of the Japanese brown thrush 
that was collected by B. Barbaza at Balintauac, near Manila, 
on January 16, 1909. Whitehead found a few specimens of this 
thrush “on the summit of Monte Data [in northern Luzon] 
mingling with the flocks of T. obscurus” in November and De- 
cember. I found the species fairly abundant in Calayan late 
in November and during December. I suspect that thorough 
field work in northwestern Luzon during October, November, 
and December would yield a lot of interesting information con- 
cerning migratory land birds. 
Amandava amandava (Linnaeus).

Nat. Mus. 35 (1908) 588.] 
On March 18, 1921, I noticed about fifty small birds in a 
Manila store. These were of the species reported by me from 
Manila as Sporseginthus amandava. All of them were immature, 
with gray or clay-colored underparts. A few were in mottled
