61. Xantholestes panayensis, Sharpe. P. 
62. Cryptolopha xanthopygia, sp. n. (Whitehead). 
Similar to C. montis (Sharpe), but differing from that species in having the entire rump sulphur- 
yellow and the bill considerably larger. 
This, perhaps the most interesting discovery of my expedition to Palawan, throws a light on what 
may be expected from the highlands of that island, viz. that they will probably be found to have an ornis 
similar to that of the highlands of Borneo. I discovered a new species on Kina Balu (Borneo), C. montis , 
and met with this allied form in Palawan, on the top of a small mountain about 2000 feet high, and this 
is the only highland form as yet procured in Palawan.

74. Mixornis woodi, Sharpe, f- 
I found a nest of this species, which was placed in a creeping bamboo, about three feet from the 
ground, and contained two eggs, which were white spotted with red. The nest is a loose ball of leaves 
slightly lined with fine stalks. 
75. Anuropsis cinereiceps (Tweedd.). f. 
Scarce, frequenting the thick tangled masses of jungle. I took a nest of this species on 2nd September, 
which was placed close to the ground and made of bamboo-leaves ; it contained two blue eggs thickly 
speckled with dark brown.
