be necessary to fix the type locality for Poliolimnas ocularis. 
It is strange that ornithologists continue to publish names and 
descriptions without paying attention to types and exact local- 
ities. 
Gallinula chloropus (Linnseus) . 
The moorhen was abundant in a small marsh just outside of 
Culasi during May and the early part of June. When the rice 
fields became flooded these birds scattered over an immense 
area, and specimens were then obtained with difficulty. 
Gallicrex cinerea (Latham) . 
A few specimens of the watercock were killed. 
Porphyrio pulverulentus Temminck. 
Specimens of the large blue gallinule were killed in a bit of 
marsh near Culasi. This species has not been previously re- 
corded from Panay. 
Tachybaptus philippensis (Bonnaterre) . 
One specimen of the Philippine grebe was collected near 
Culasi on June 16; the species has not been previously recorded 
from Panay. 
Sterna boreotis (Bangs). 
A few specimens of this large tern were seen about Batbatan 
Island; specimens collected there on June 27 were in full plum- 
age, the crown being entirely black. 
Charadrius fulvus (Gmelin). 
A small flock of Eastern golden plovers was seen on Batbatan 
Island. Two specimens were killed near Culasi on July 6. This 
common migrant does not appear to have been recorded from 
Panay. 
ffigialitis dubia (Scopoli). 
Specimens of the little ringed plover were collected at Tibiao 
and at Culasi. 
.ZEgialitis peroni (Bonaparte). 
Malay sand plovers were the only shore birds seen during 
the long tramp from Culasi to Pandan and return; one male 
was killed near Sebaste on July 13. This species has not been 
recorded from Panay. 
Heteractitis brevipes (Vieillot). 
A female of this species was collected at Lipata on July 9; 
the species has not been recorded from Panay.
