39. Graucalus leucopygius l?p. 



Indrulaman and Makassar, [ris yellowish white ; bill and legs black. .\ yomip; 

 male (Sei)tember 189.3) iias the feather.s of the head, back, and rump witli a Icrininul 

 buflfy white and a subtenninal blackish bar; tlie remiges with bufl'y white narrow 

 edges; the upper wing-coverts with broad bufify white edges; feathers of throat and 

 lireast with blackish subterminal bars. 



40. Volvocivora morio (Mull). 



Indrulaman, common ; very varialile. Only rather aged males seem to have tlie 

 throat and upper breast black; the underparts of the females and young are more or 

 less deep hufl". 



S juv. and ? . " Iris chocolate ; bill, feet, and claws black." 



c? ad. " Iris dark brown ; bill, feet, and claws black." 



41. Lalage leucopygialis Waldon. 



Indrulaman. It is wrong to quote L. leucopygialis liray, as the latter author 

 never has described the bird. " The iris of the male is chocolate-brown; bill, legs, 

 and claws black." 



42. Lalage timoriensis (S. Midi.). 



Indrulaman and Makassar. 



43. Muscicapa griseosticta (Smnh.). 

 Indrulaman. 



44. Muscicapula westermanni Sharjic. 



^ley. & Wigl. (Abh. und Ber. J/(ts. Dremlen, 1896, Jio. 1, p. 9) have already shown 

 that this bird inhabits Celebes, but they had received one pair only, and believed 

 that thev differed slightly from typical M. westermanni from Java and Borneo. 

 Mr. Everett sent a number of tine males and t-^o females, as well as a young bird. 

 These I have compared with the large series of the species in Tring and in London, 

 and I am able to state that they do not differ in anything from tyi)ical M. yH'sleriiuiniu. 

 The young bird has the feathers of the upperside fringed with black and variegated 

 with a large buff subterminal spot, tho.se of the underside bordered with lilack. 



4.3. Muscicapula hyperythra (I51yth)- 



Two pairs from elevations of about 6000 feet on Houthain Peak do not differ in 

 colour from MiiscieapxJa hypcrytlira. Compared with skins of that species from North 

 I'orueo, the white line extending from the forehead backwards over the eye is broader 

 and longer. Tliis character, however, does not seem to have any constancy, and 

 I limalayan specimens in the British Museum are perfectly similar to those from Celebes. 

 ]5ut the wings of the Celebes birds before me are longer, those of the males measuring 

 6.5 mm., those of the /owaie.s 61 and 62 mm., while those of my males from Borneo 

 measure .56 to 59 mm., those of /e»ia?es from the same place 56 mm.; and .Messrs. 

 Sharpe & Oates give only 58 mm. as the length of the wing of Indian males. So it 

 would seem that the Celebes birds differ in having longer wings, but a larger material 

 than I have before me at present is desirable to work out t he local forms of ^1/. hi/perijtiira, 

 of which there may be several. 



I have not seen M. hyperi/thra, recorded from Celebes before.
