Excerpt from The Philippine Journal of Science, Vol. 13: Section D, General Biology, Ethnology and Anthropology This paper includes a record of the monkey-eating eagle from a new locality in Luzon, comments on several species of terns and shore birds, and notes on some other Philippine species of more or less interest. Megapodius cumingi Dillwyn. The tabon is so seldom seen in Luzon that the fact of its breeding in Tayabas Province, as verified by the egg that was received with the following letter, seems worthy of publication: Gumaca, Tayabas, Mar. 25, 1911. While working in the woods about six miles from Gumaca yesterday a native called my attention to a small hole in the ground in which he said a bird had a nest, and after digging about five feet I came upon four eggs, one of which I am mailing you under separate cover. The eggs were laid on a mass of rotting wood and mold and all around the hole was the same thing, I presume the heat generated by the decaying stuff is the means of hatching the eggs.
