Iniliulaman. " Iris lemoii-vellow ; liill black; feet grpyisb olive ; claws liluckish 

 brown."

Iiidnilaniau and ^lakassar. 



(J. " Iris crimson-lake ; bill black : mandilile grey towards the base; feet dirtv 

 greenish ; nails brown." 



01. Cuculus intermedius Vald. 



Two grey males, Indrulaman. One of them is very much liroader-barred than 

 the other. 



Two females, Indrulaman, both in the riifoiis plumage. " Iris raw sienna-brown ; 

 bill brownish black : basal half of mandible greenish yellow ; eyelids ]iure chrome- 

 yellow ; feet wax-yellow ; claws light brown."

Indrulaman and JMakassar. 



63. Chalcococcyx malayanus (Raffl.). 



(? ? . Indrulaman and ^Makassar. J. " Iris clay-brown : eye-wattle scarlet; bill 

 black ; legs greyish black ; claws black." 



64. Chalcococcyx basalis (Horsf). 



a\ female belonging to this species, shot on the Bonthain Peak 6()()() feet high. 

 The longer wing (this ? has it 97 mm. long), both webs of the second rectri.x from 

 outside being rufous for the basal two-thirds, the rather broader and paler bands of 

 the breast, a superciliary whitish line, and a broad dark line from the eye along the 

 sides of the neck distinguish this species without difficulty from Ch. malayanus, 

 which is a usual inhabitant of Celebes. I am not aware that Ch. basalis has been 

 found before in Celebes, but as it inhabits " Australia, Aru Islands, Timor, I'Mores, 

 Lombock, Java, and reoccurs in ."Malacca" (Shelley, Cat. B. XIX. p. '205), it is not to 

 be wondered at much. 



65. Scythrops novaehollandiae Lath. 



Indrulaman. c? ad. " Iris, orbit, cere, and nostrils crimson-lake ; bill horn-white, 

 clouded with plumbeous grey; feet dark plumbeous." 



60. Sumiculus muschenbroeki Meyer. 



The greatest surprise to me in this collection was a pair, or rather two males, 

 of this cuckoo, of which only one specimen, a female, procured in Batjan by Dr. A. B. 

 Meyer's hunters, was known. Cf. Meyer in Rowley's Ovii. Misc. III. p. 164, Cat. 

 B. XIX. p. 230. ThoTigh the specimens before me agreed fully with the original 

 description, I thought it best to have them compared with the type, and therefore 

 .sent them to Dr. Meyer, who kindly wrote me that they fully agreed with his 

 bird. The wing of S. muschenlji'oelci has been given as 140 mm., while my specimens 

 liave wings of 134 — 135 mm. only; but Dr. Jleyer was kind enough to inform me 

 that really the wing of his bird is only 136 mm. long, according to his own recent
