32. Dicrurus leucops Wall. 

 Makas.«ar and Indrulnman. r^ . " Iris milk-white.'' 



oo. Oriolus celebensis meridionalis. 



Ill Ahh. vnd Ber. Klin. Zoulof/., etc., Mus. Dresden, 1896, No. 1, p. 14, Messrs. 

 A. B. Meyer & L. W. WigleswortL have remarked that North and South Celebes 

 birds differ, those from the south having more black in the plumage, and that this 

 point will be discussed in the authors' work on the birds of Celebes. Hofrath 

 Dr. Meyer then wrote me that in the MS. they called the southern Oriole 0. celebensis 

 riieridimiiilis, and I accept their name herewith, as I consider it a good subspecies. 

 The most characteristic feature of the southern form is the broad black eye-stripe, 

 which fully encircles the occiput, broadly and quite uninten-uijted. The secondaries 

 are blacker. Makassar and Indrulaman. c?. " Iris crimson lake ; bill reddish sienna- 

 brown ; legs olive-grey ; claws deeji brown." 



34. Gazzola typica Bp. 



Both sexes of this very rare crow from Indrulaman (2500 feet to about 7000 

 feet on Bonthain Peak). " Iris warm brown." The wing of the female about 4 mm. 

 shorter than that of the 7iifde (208 and 212 mm,). 



35. Corvus enca Horsf. 



Indrulaman, ^lakassar. Several local varieties of this crow may be distinguished 

 w'ith the help of sufficient material. 



30. Streptocitta albicollis (Meill.). 

 Makassar. This species represents Str. torquata in Southern Celebes. 



37. Pachycephala bonthaiua -"\Iey. & Wigl. 



A series of skins, collected from elevations of little over 6000 feet to the summit 

 of Bonthain Peak (nearly 9000 feet), belongs, no doubt, to the species named 

 P. honihaiwi, and well described by Messrs. Meyer & Wiglesworth in Abh. und Ber. 

 Mus. Dresden, 1896, No. 1, p. 10. Both sexes agree well with the description, 

 e.xeept that the under tail-coverts are not of the same colour as the lower back, 

 rump, upper tail-coverts, and flanks ; but they are brownish ochraceous, while the 

 latter parts are greenish olive-yellow. The female differs from the raale only in the 

 chin and throat being striped and spotted with pale buff, but the termination of the 

 yellowish cap is not less abrupt than in the majority of the males. There is also an 

 immature male, which has the whole upperside washed with olive, the whole underside 

 striped with pale brownish buff, the head and neck olive-brown. It seems from tiiis 

 not impossible that P. bonensis (Mey. & \\\g\.,Abh. und. Ber. Mus. Dresden, 1894-0, 

 No. 4, p. 2) is, after all, the same as P. bonthaina, but adult specimens of the 

 northern bird must be awaited to decide b}'. 



38. Pachycephala meridionalis liiittik. (Not. Leyden Mils. XV. p. 168, 1803). 

 Indrulaman and l!oiitliaiii Peak to above 6000 feet. Iris chocolate ; bill black; 

 legs and feet pale bluish grey ; nails dark grey. 



Wing o[ m.(des, 84 mm.; of females, 80 — 81 mm.
