8. Contributions to the Ornithology of the Philippines. — 
No. X. On the Collection made by Mr. A. H. Everett 
in the Island of Bohol. By Arthur, Marquis of 
Tweeddale, F.R.S., President of the Society. 

[Received June 14, 1S7S.] 

The island of Bohol lies between Leyte and Zebu, and is situated 
about seventy miles NAV. of Mindanao. It has a length of about 
forty miles aud a breadth of thirty miles. After leaving Leyte, Mr. 
Everett stopped for a week at Talibon, on the north coast of the 
island, aud then left for Palawan, while his brother proceeded to the 
interior of the island to collect. There he found a country covered 
with grass 12 feet high, and with no forest except on the tops of a 
few hills. Birds were scarce ; and he had to return stricken with 
fever. The collection obtained in North Bohol contains representa- 
tives of 47 species ; and although all belong to previously known 
birds, seven of them have not been hitherto recorded as being 
inhabitants of the Philippines. These are — 

Cisticola cursitans . Limosa lapponica. 

Alauda ivattersi . T ring a albescens . 

Terekia cinerea . Strepsilas interpres . 

Limicola platyrhyncha . 

The rest of the species are generally distributed throughout 
the archipelago, with perhaps the exceptions of Lanins nasutus y 
which appears to be a northern form, and Orthotomus frontalis and 
Loriculus hartlaabi , which are southern species.
