Outram Bangs, Notes on Philippine Birds Collected by Governor W. Cameron Forbes

“ Twelve specimens, both sexes, mostly fully adult, Lake Liguasan, Mindanao, March and August.
The Comb-crested Jacana has been found in the Philippine Islands, apparently only in Mindanao. Specimens from that island I am unable in any way to distinguish from one skin in the M. C. Z. from Celebes, the type-locality of the species. Mr. J. H. Riley writes me [Pg 78] that he has lately compared three specimens from Celebes with one from Mindanao with the result that he could find no differences. It is safe therefore to refer the Philippine bird to the typical form. ”

“ The adult ♀ besides differing, as does the ♂, in heavier stripes below etc., has the whole pileum, occiput, upper neck, and sides of neck heavily streaked black and olive-green, and the throat and chest dull gray with whitish streaks. (A ♀ probably an older bird in the U. S. N. M. has the head neutral gray with an olive wash, very conspicuously streaked with black, the black streaks extending as in the others right to base of bill) .
Measurements.
Remarks.—The Black-headed Oriole has been recorded from Palawan and Calamianes Islands only in the Philippines. ”

“ The males all have dark bills, their soft parts were noted on the labels as—"Bill blue-black; feet dull brownish, with a slight reddish tinge."
An adult female of F. minor palmerstoni (Gmelin) , shot by Flood, 29 September, 1895 at Molokai, H. I. (115,028 M. C. Z.) has a decidedly pinkish bill, the color of which was noted on the label as "light purple."
Gmelin mentions the red bill in his short diagnosis of minor and Edwards's plate to which he refers shows a female Frigate with a red bill. ”

“ Type.—M. C. Z. 57,529 adult ♂, Cagayan de Sulu, 2 July, 1911. W. Cameron Forbes.
Characters.—Similar to O. ruficeps ruficeps (Lesson) , (specimens from Borneo) , but slightly larger, with longer bill; upper parts clearer gray; crown slightly deeper brown.
Measurements.
Remarks.—There are, in the U. S. N. M., three skins from Sibutu similar in all respects to ours.
Birds from Palawan and Clulion Islands are somewhat smaller than those from Sulu, but agree in color more nearly with them, than they do with true ruficeps of Borneo. ”

“ The adult ♀ decidedly [Pg 81] grayer less brownish above—deep neutral gray (the upper parts in L. nigra nigra are hair-brown to Chaetura drab) .
Remarks.—Birds from Java are small and appear to be quite like those from Singapore and the southern Malay peninsula. The Borneo bird is a little larger and the one female before me is gray above as in the Philippine form. ”
