24. Motacilla fiava L. 

 Bulekomba. 



25. Munia pallida Wall. 



Two fenudes from Bulekomba aud -Makassar. One of them, in quite freshly 

 moulted plumage, has the top of the head and the hindneck strongly washed with 

 greyish brown ; but the other specimen, in abraded plumage, is much paler on the 

 head. I therefore do not think that the Celebes bird diftVrs from that from I>oinbok 

 and Flores, of which I could compare six skins in the British IMuseum. (See also 

 Mey. & Wigl., Ahh. und Ber. Mus. Dresden, 189G, No. 1, p. 13.) 



2fi. Munia atricapilla brunneiceps (Wald.). 



See Mey. & Wigl., I.e. p. 13. They mention consideiable individual varia- 

 tions. Four skins from Indrulaman do not vai'v much and are tyjiical hnmneiceps. 

 The birds mentioned by me in Nov. ZooL. II. p. 469, from Runguran, have much 

 darker heads and more rufous backs. So they resemble more the purely black- 

 headed M. nlrlcapilld typica, but much of their bright colour may be due to their 

 being in veiy fresh plumage. I have seen Bornean specimens agreeing with those 

 from Bung^ran, though most of them are also slightly paler on the head, and yet a 

 little darker than those from Celebes. 



27. Scissirostrum dubium (Lath.). 



Indrulaman. "Iris dark brown; bill deep chrome-yellow; legs light chrome; 

 nails pale sejiia." 



28. Calornis minor fBp.). 



cJ ? . " Iris .scarlet." Indrulaman. 



The principal home of this small Calornis appears to be the islands south of 

 Celebes, such as Sumbawa, Flores, Timor, Lombok, etc., and it is much less known 

 as an inhabitant of Celebes, where C. pannyensis abounds in many parts ; but it has 

 been recorded from Celebes long ago by Dr. A. B. Jleyer in Sits. Ber. Naturf. Ges. 

 Ids, 1884, I. p. 48, and Abh. und Ber. Mus. Dresden, 1896, No. 1, p. 4. The tail of 

 this species is certainly not much graduated, but only slightly rounded, nearly .square ; 

 and altogether C. minor stands not very far from C. chalybea, though it is decidedly 

 smaller, aud the neck much more purple. The wings of the two Indrulaman 

 specimens measure 64 — 66 mm. 



29. Basileornis celebensis Gray. 

 Indrulaman. t? ? . "Iris dark brown: bill greenish white; legs wax-yiOlow ; 

 claws blackish brown." 



Specimeus from North and South Celebes do not differ. 



30. Acridotheres cinereus Hp. 

 Makassar, where it is commoii.
