ing islands. In a note at the end of the volume he refers to 
a skeleton of a bird of this genus with more certainty as being 
P. humilis; and the correctness of this view is now borne out 
by the skin sent by Mr. Everett.

Dendrochelidon comata, Salvad. 1. c. p. 123.

The pair sent agree with Sumatran examples, and have, 
like the latter, the wing shorter than Philippine birds, as 
duly noted by Lord Walden (/.c.). I cannot, however, per- 
ceive any material difference in plumage. 
8. MAcROPTERYX LONGIPENNIS. 
Dendrochelidon longipennis (Rafin.) ; Salvad. J. c. p. 122. 
a. “No. 100. ¢. Jambusan, Sept. 1874. Iris cho- 
colate.” 
9. Meroprs sicotor (Bodd.) ; Salvad. /. c. p. 90. 
a. “No. 86. 9. Bruit Sands, August 1873.” 
6. “9. Bruit, April 20, 1874. Iris dragon’s-blood; bill 
black; feet blackish.” 
The female has the chestnut of the upper surface washed 
with green, as is so often seen in other Bee-eaters, espe- 
cially in M. superciliosus of Africa. For this mixture of plu- 
mage I have never yet seen any satisfactory explanation.
