Columba griseigularis (Walden and Layard). 
Four specimens of this beautiful wood dove, one of which was 
killed, were seen in a second-growth thicket near Culasi on 
May 26. 
Streptopelia dussumieri (Temminck) . 
Specimens of Dussumier’s dove, feeding on corn and rice, 
were killed near Tibiao on May 13. This species was rare near 
Culasi, and only three or four individuals were seen between 
Culasi and Pandan. We were informed that there were many 
doves on Maralison Island, but only three specimens of Dus- 
sumier’s dove were seen. No other species of dove was found 
on Maralison. On Batbatan Island this species was very abun- 
dant ; as it was feeding almost exclusively on rice, it was doing 
considerable damage. 
Chalcophaps indica (Linnaeus) . 
The bronze-winged dove was seen near Culasi. 
Hypotasnidia striata (Linnaeus). 
One male was collected at Culasi on June 19. 
Poliolimnas ocularis (Ingram) . 
Poliolimnas cinereus McGregor, Man. Philip. Birds (1909) 73 (Philip- 
pine records). 
Porzana cinerea ocularis Ingram, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club 29 (1911) 22. 
The Philippine ashy crake was abundant at Culasi, where 
several specimens were collected ; another was collected at Tibiao. 
Ingram has separated the ashy crake of the Philippine Islands 
as a subspecies of Porzana cinerea and has validated Gray’s 
name by giving the characters for the Philippine race. This 
race is said to be darker than P. cinereus, especially on the head ; 
the gray tints on the head and the olivaceous ! tints on the back 
purer and more strongly contrasted with one another; the neck 
and breast conspicuously grayer and strongly washed with slate 
gray. 
Sharpe 1 indicates two specimens collected by Cuming as 
“Types of 0. ocularis,” with Philippine Islands as the locality. 
However, as Gray’s name is a nomen nudum, the types of 
his species are of no interest unless designated as types by an- 
other author. Ingram designated neither type nor type locality 
for his subspecies. It is possible that two or more races of this 
rail may be found within the Philippine Islands ; it would then
