Mr. W. Eagle Clarke on Birds 
for several months, as he has done for the past twenty 
years. During this sojourn, in spite of many distracting 
influences, Mr. Keay obtained a considerable number of 
birds, and upon them, through the kindness of Mr. John 
Maclauchlan, the Director of the Albert Institute and Public 
Museum, Dundee, I have been permitted to report, after 
examination. 
The collection contains three undescribed birds, namely, 
a fine new Pigeon of the genus Phlogoenas, a Batrachostomus 
which may possibly be new, and a Caprimulgus , which has 
proved to be the hitherto unknown female of a somewhat 
rare Philippine species, C. griseatus. In addition, two of the 
species represented are new to the Philippine fauna, and 
several are new to the ornis of Negros. 
The discovery of a new Phlogoenas is an event of some 
interest, the more so since the distribution of the members 
of the genus over the archipelago is peculiar, and presents 
one of those singularly engaging problems in which the 
Philippine ornis is so marvellously rich. There are now 
known five species of this genus confined to the Philippines, 
the majority of which are peculiar to single islands. 
Concerning certain species, including a few of those which 
have been mentioned in former contributions, Mr. Keay has 
furnished me with some short but useful field-notes, and 
with the native names current in Negros. Regarding these 
latter, it should be stated that they are in some cases 
imitative of the call-notes of the various birds. 
The species contained in this collection which have not 
been previously met with by Mr. Keay are numbered in 
continuation of the former series, and where references are 
quoted under them, these furnish the first records for the 
occurrence of the species in Negros.

Ixus goiavier Tweeddale, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 285. Negros

Two specimens of the Yellow-vented Bulbul, a species 
somewhat widely distributed over the archipelago, are new 
to Mr. Keay’s collection.
