16,4 McGregor: Some Features of the Philippine Ornis 409 
Dicasum pygmssum (Kittlitz). A common species in many parts of the 
Islands and recorded by Whitehead as being found up to 1,800 meters. 
Dictum obscurum Grant. Known only from Benguet at 1,200 to 1,500 
meters. 
Eudrepanis jefferyi Grant. Whitehead gives the range of this species 
as from 1,500 to 2,300 meters; I collected it at about 1,200 meters. The 
other Philippine species of Eudrepanis occur in the lowlands of other 
islands ; no thorough collecting has been done in Luzon, and E. jefferyi may 
be eventually taken in lowland forest. 
Leptocoma henkei (Meyer). Commoner in the lowlands than in the 
mountains; Whitehead found it at about 1,500 meters. 
Mot*cilla melanope Pallas. A lowland species found up to about 1,200 
meters. 
Budytes leucostriatus Homeyer. Common near the coast during migra- 
tion; also recorded in Benguet at about 1,200 meters. 
Anthus hodgsoni Richmond. Occurs during migration up to 1,800 meters. 
Anthus rufulus Vieillot. Abundant in the lowlands and also recorded 
from the lower mountainous parts of northern Luzon. 
Anthus gustavi Swinhoe. A migratory species that occurs from sea 
level up to about 1,200 meters. 
Mirafra philippinensis Ramsay. Fairly common at low altitudes and 
occurs up to 1,200 meters. 
Loxia luzoniensis Grant. Probably occurs in northern Luzon wherever 
there are pine trees; it is not known to occur below about 1,200 meters. 
Munia jagori Martens. Abundant at low altitudes and noted at 1,200 
meters. 
Emberiza pusilla Pallas. A rare migrant, recorded from Benguet at 1,200 
meters. 
Emberiza sulphurata Temminck and Schlegel. A migrant; commoner 
than E. pusilla and found from the coast up to 1,800 meters’ altitude. 
Munia jagori Martens. Abundant at low altitudes and noted at 1,200 
meters in Benguet. 
Munia cabanisi Sharpe. Much rarer than M. jagori and with about 
the same, vertical range in Luzon. 
Uroloncha everetti (Tweeddale). Rare; its vertical range is about the 
same as that of the two species of Munia mentioned. 
Reiehenowia brunneiventris (Grant). Whitehead has recorded this 
species as being found at 600 meters in Benguet and at 2,300 meters on 
Mount Data. 
Sarcops calvus (Linnaeus). This starling is characteristic of the low- 
lands and is found up to about 1,200 meters. 
Corvus philippinus Bonaparte. Common in nearly all of the Islands 
and occurs in Benguet up to about 1,200 meters. 
BIRDS OF THE HIGHLANDS OF OTHER ISLANDS 
Mindoro, Negros, and Mindanao, in addition to Luzon, have 
yielded highland species. Several collectors have visited Min- 
doro, but only two seem to have collected at what can be called 
highland stations. Whitehead succeeded in reaching an altitude 
of “nearly 6,000 feet” where he secured only two species that
