41. Strix flammea I^. 

 Kalao. Typical S. fldmmeit, which has nothing to do with the large and powerful 

 Strix roseiibeiyi of Celebes. " Kill wliite ; feet sepia-brown ; claws dark horn-grey." 



42. Ninox scutulata japonica fSchleg.). 



?. Kalao. "Iris golden; bill olive-green, flouded with horn-black ; feet wax- 

 yellow; claws blackish brown." 



43. Baza reinwardti (Miill. & Schleg.). 



S. December 1895, Djampea. "Iris yellow; cere, mandible, ba.sal half of 

 maxilla light ])lumbeous ; apical half of maxilla jet-black ; feet white; claws brown." 

 The number and position of the bands in this wide.spread species vary considerably. 



44. Elanus hypoleucus Ciould. 

 December 1895, Kalao. 



45. Peruis spec. 



One specimen, marked /c)/(.«y«, November 1895, .Saleyer. A large bird, remiges 

 moulting, wing 440 mm. The whole underside is buff or ochraceous buflf, some 

 feathers (older ones) paler, others (the new ones) darker and brighter. The throat is 

 surrounded by an irregular black band, the feathers of the lower throat and upper 

 breast have naiTow deep brown shaft-lines, but all the breast, abdomen, flanks, 

 scapulars, and under wiug-coverts are uniform, without a trace of bars or bands. 

 Upperside dark brown as in most Pemis, not differing from many specimens of 

 P. ptilonorhynchiis. I believe this bird to belong to the latter species, but not to 

 P. celehensis, unless it is an unknown plumage of the latter species, of which we do 

 not yet know very much. 



46. Accipiter gularis (Temm. & Schleg.). 



In spite of the instructive articles of Gumey {List Dmrn. B. of Prey, App. 0, 

 pp. 165—177) and Grant (Ms, 1896, pp. 104— 107), I found it difficult to name the 

 three specimens from I)jam|jea before me, but at last came to the conclusion that they 

 must be (immature?) A. ijularis. The breast is longitudinally marked in the two 

 females, as well as in the one male; the line along the centre of the throat very 

 narrow, and absent in one of the females. No shade of rufous anywhere on the under- 

 side. The fourth primary is longest, and 6 to 8 mm. longer than the fifth, while in an 

 adult (rufous) 'male of what 1 consider to be A. maailleasis the fifth primary forms 

 the tip of the wing and is slightly longer than the fourth ! 1 wish .somebody would 

 give distinctive characters for these birds of the youw/ as well. The material at 

 this Mu.seum is but scanty at present. 



d . "Iris golden; cere Indian yellow; loral region greyish green; bill black; 

 basal portion bluish plumbeous ; legs wax-yellow ; claws black." ? . " Iris golden : 

 skin of orbital and loral regions and cere dull yellowish green ; bill black, basal 

 portion light lead-grey ; legs pale wax-yellow ; claws black." 



47. Astvir torquatus (Temm.). 

 Adult and young specimens from Djanipeu and Kalao. The young bird is above 

 browu ; the feathers white at base, some of this white beiug shown on the hindueck ;
