Inhabits the Philippine Islands, and Bombay ; also Ceylon ; is a various feeder, and very gluttonous in its appetite ; is useful in its wild state, in freeing the backs of oxen from vermin, and has been known, when kept in confinement, to swallow a young rat, more than two inches long, whole, after bruising it against the wires of its cage ; is also very fond of locusts and grasshoppers. They build twice in a year, chiefly in the forks of palm trees, though not unfrequently in outhouses, making a coarse sort of nest, and generally lay four blue eggs. The young birds are easily tamed, and soon learn to speak, imitating the cries of the common domestic poultry, c. This was ranked formerly by Linnaeus with his Paradise Bird, on account of the velvet-like feathers about the bill; but why he should have named it tristis is not so clear, as, according to Dr. Buchanan, it is the most cheerful bird in India it has a great variety of musical powers, is often very noisy, but sometimes, especially at dawn, has a pleasant chirping song. When these birds meet with a snake, they assemble round it, and scream violently, and by this means discover it to others; when tame, it will imitate the human voice; eats grain, milk, and insects ; builds in trees, lays the eggs in June, in the hollows, on a little straw ; a nest of one met with, of twenty inches in diameter, was made of cents ; in it were two greenish blue eggs, one end much narrower than the other. Dr. B. says it abounds in I observe a drawing of one from India, with the bill, caruncle, and legs orange. This is called Gursall Mainah. Another of these, not widely differing, was named Saulak.

(From the Zoological Laboratory, University of the Philippines) The most abundant species of fiddler-crab along the esteros near Manila has not been described. Believing the species to be new, the writer prepared the following description while he was serving as assistant professor of zoology in the University of the Philippines. Uca rathbunae sp. nov. Description. — Length of carapace about three-fifths its greatest breadth, which is at the acute antero-lateral angles. Carapace not very convex, smooth, anterior margin somewhat arcuate; the regions all recognizable, but not clearly defined; posterior border one-half the greatest breadth; lateral margins not converging posteriorly. The crenulate line that bounds the dorsal plane on each side is well marked two-thirds of the way back and convergent posteriorly. The breadth of the front, measured between the bases of the eye-stalks, is about one-twentieth the greatest breadth of the carapace. The front is spatulate, and its raised border is wider at the ventral margin than the central groove. Orbits somewhat oblique; borders sinuous, both crenulate; crenulations on the lower border progressively larger away from median line; a line of fine crenulations below all the upper border except the outer quarter; a row of tubercles on the floor of the orbit inside the middle third of the lower border. Larger cheliped of male with hand nearly 3 times greater than length of carapace; merus finely granulated on outer surface, all margins denticulate, denticles larger at superior distal angle ; carpus granulated on upper and outer surfaces, hairy 91
NEW PHILIPPINE FIDDLER-CRAB. 93 defined, outer one most prominent, a well-marked elongated depression between them. Fingers rather slender, strongly flattened, minutely granular; both have a longitudinal groove on the external surface, but that in the fixed finger is the deeper ; fixed finger tapering, nearly straight, hooked at the top, smooth on lower margin and denticulate on inner margin; movable finger slightly arcuate, bearing 2 strong spines on inner margin, one at the tip and the other about one-fourth of the length of the inner margin from it; most individuals also have a strong denticle on the inner margins of each of the fingers about one-third of the distance from the proximal end. Merus of last pair of legs somewhat foliaceous. Color of living male. — Dorsal surface of carapace, dark brown (65)' (almost black) with a transverse yellowish-white (141) band back of the front and sometimes another spot of the same color in the center of the back; eye-stalks light brown (137). Large chela with fingers and inside of palm white, outside of palm whitish or green above (341) and fuscous (102) below. Other walking legs gray (222) ; back of merus of last pair of legs white; abdomen bluish (402). The above description was taken from 69 males and 8 females, collected May 22, 1911, at an estuary three blocks south of the Philippine Medical School, Manila, P. I. The 10 largest males gave the following average measurements: Length of carapace, 1464 mm; breadth of carapace, 2440; length of chela 403. This species closely resembles U. diissumieri ( Milne-eedwardsbut can be distinguished from it by the constant presence of a tooth on the inner margin of the movable finger near the tip, by the well-marked lines bounding lateral borders of the dorsal surface, and by the less salient character of the 2 oblique ridges on the inner surface of the palm. Miss M. J. Rathbun has kindly compared two specimens of this species with specimens of 13 narrow-fronted species from the Indo-pacific region in the United States National Museum. She reports that U. rathhunse is most nearly related to U. urvillei (Milne-edwards) and makes the following observations: Shape of carapace much as in U. urvillei. The orbital margin is a little more oblique. Frontal furrow longer, not triangular and sharp pointed at the extremity as in urvillei, but slightly spatulate. The accessory line of granules above the lower margin of the orbit is much shorter, occupying The numbers following colors refer to Klincksieck, P, et Valette, T. Code des couleurs. Paris (1908).

If this monkey, Simia intus Linnteus, be congeneric with the Malayan group of long-tailed macaques, lately called Pithecus, as seems very doubtful, the name Simia will stand for all the Philippine species. Without seeing the original publication of Pithecus, I do not feel justified in selecting a type for the genus, which apparently has not yet been done.
