Page 429: To names of collectors of Hirundo striolata, under Luzon, add: McGregor.

Page 431: In the key to genera of Muscicapidæ the genus Callaeops should be inserted near Terpsiphone.

Page 447: To names of collectors of Gerygone simplex, under Luzon, add: Bartsch.

Page 448: To localities for Gerygone rhizophoræ add: Tataan (Bartsch).

"This specimen is doubtfully referred to this species on account of its darker coloration and larger size than Gerygone simplex. The sides of the head are nearly as dark as G. rhizophoræ from Mindanao, and, like it, the crissum is pale and the under tail-coverts white; but the upper parts are much paler, and the bill smaller than in typical rhizophoræ." (Mearns.)

MINDANAO RHINOMYIAS.

Rhinomyias ruficauda mindanensis Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909), 36, 439.

"The series of this genus in the U. S. Nat. Mus. shows that there are three geographical forms of the rufous-tailed flycatcher, from the islands of Basilan, Mindanao, and Samar respectively.

"Compared with the Samar and Mindanao forms the Basilan form, Rhinomyias ruficauda ruficauda, has the under parts whiter, middle of chest grayer, sides of chest and flanks a grayer brown, with entire side of head slate-gray.

"R. mindanensis and samarensis both have brown cheeks and differ from each other in size the Mindanao form being larger. The upper surfaces are of a lighter, more olivaceous, and less rufescent color." (Mearns.)

Page 474: To names of collectors of Cryptolopha olivacea, under Negros, add: Celestino.
