The Asiatic knot was collected in Negros by Moseley and by 
Bourns and Worcester, and Mearns had at least one Philippine 
specimen, probably from Mindanao. I am now able to record 
three specimens that were collected in Luzon. The one from 
Cavite was collected by Dr. H. C. Curl, who recorded its length 
as 270 millimeters. No. 7377 was 275 millimeters in length in 
the flesh. Other measurements of the three specimens are given 
in the table under the preceding species and need not be repeated 
here. 
Mathews has attached the generic name Anteliotringa to this 
species, but I do not think it is necessary to separate it generically 
from the. smaller knots. 
Muscicapula calayensis sp. nov. 
Muscicapula luzoniensis McGregor, Bull. Philip. Mus. 4 (1904) 32 
(part referring to Calayan). 
Type. — No. 3405, adult male, Bureau of Science collection ; Ca- 
layan Island, Babuyanes, P. I. ; October 1, 1903 ; R. C. McGregor 
and A. Celestino, collectors. Length, in the flesh, 127 milli- 
meters; wing, 63; tail, 49; tarsus, 18; exposed culmen, 12. Bill 
black ; iris dark ; legs white with a slight blue wash ; nails light 
brown. 
Specific characters. — Similar to Muscicapula luzoniensis Grant, 
but chin, throat, breast, and sides darker — dark ochraceous-buff 
to dark antimony yellow instead of chamois yellow; wing and 
bill slightly longer. 
Remarks. — I recorded this specimen as M. luzoniensis, but its 
darker underparts and slightly greater size are sufficient grounds 
for its separation. 
Gerygone simplex Cabanis. Plates 1 and 2. 
The muscicapine genus Gerygone includes about twenty-five 
species of small, somewhat aberrant flycatchers. Several species 
are found in Australia, while others inhabit various parts of the 
Sunda Islands, Papua, Borneo, Sumatra, and the Malay Penin- 
sula. Gerygone simplex, which appears to be confined to the 
Philippine Islands, has been recorded from Mindoro, Luzon, and
