Show 288 ON THE ORNITHOLOGY OF T H E PHILIPPINES. [FEB. 19, 47. CARPOPHAGA ^ENEA (141). [Dumaguete, J, $, August. 48. IANTHCENAS GRISEIGULARIS (145). [Valencia, J, August: iris orange ; orbital region and basal half of bill dark crimson ; apical half of bill pale yellow ; feet dull carmine ; nails yellowish grey.] 49. MACROPYGIA EURYCERCA, sp. n. (146, partim). [Valencia, cS, August: iris yellow, with outer ring crimson; orbital region and base of bill crimson ; bill light brown ; feet carmine.] Mr. Everett sends a single example, which agrees in every respect with the example obtained in Negros by Dr. B. Meyer, and described by me (Tr. Z. S. ix. p. 218. no. 146) when writing on M. tenuirostris. A recomparison made with Luzon examples leaves no doubt that the Negros bird is specifically distinct. 50. TURTUR DUSSUMIERI (147). [Valencia, <$ > August. Dumaguete, S, August.] 51. CHALCOPHAPS INDICA (150). [Valencia, 6*, August.] 52. EUDROMIAS GEOFFROYI (161). [Dumaguete, $, August: bill black; legs very pale greenish grey ; feet darker grey.] 53. BALLINA EURYZONOIDES. Gallinulee euryzonoides, Lafresn. Rev. Zool. 1845, p. 368; Tweed-dale, P. Z. S. 1877, p. 767. [Valencia, S. August.] New to Negros. The Luzon (Manilla) bird (Tr. Z. S. ix. p. 231. no. 175) has to be compared; for it is doubtful whether it does not rather belong to this species than to R. fasciata. 54. HYPOTANIDIA TORQUATA (177). [Valencia, $ , August.] New to Negros. 55. LlMOSA JEGOCEPHALA. Scolopax cegocephala, Linn. S. N. i. p. 246. no. 16. [Valencia, August.] 56. NYCTICORAX MANILLENSIS (198). [Dumaguete, $, August: iris golden yellow ; bill black, the base, greater part of lower half, and bare orbital skin bright yellow-green; legs and feet light yellow-green, clouded with olive-green in front, and on the upper surface of toes.] In first plumage. |
