No. 1, p. 9). 



This excellent new species was found in numbers on the l^ontliain Peak, where 

 it was discovered by the brothers Sarasin in tlie same month when ^Ir. Everett 

 collected there, i.e. October 189.T, from Indrnlamaii to alxive fiODO feet. 



The iris is dark brown ; bill sepia-ltrown : iiiMiwlihlc orlni'oii^, tinged with sejiia; 

 legs lead-blue ; claws light brown. 



53. Stoparola meridionalis lUUtik. (Xoies Leyden .l/ds. 1893, p. 170). 



Found at Indrulaman, and up to elevations of about GOOO feet. The sexes an- 

 alike in colour, but the wing of the female seems to be 2 or 3 mm. shorter. The 

 iris is chocolate-brown ; the bill, legs, and claws black.

54. Caprimulgus aflBnis Horsf. 

 A perfectly adult male, Makassar, September 1895. 



•3.). Collocalia esciUenta (L.). 



Indrulaman and up to about GOOO feet on Bonthain Peak. On November 2nd 

 a colony was found breeding in a cave near Indrulaman. The nests were not edible. 

 but consisted of moss, rootlets, lichens, and little twigs, agglutinated and fixed to the 

 walls of the cave with saliva. Kggs were found in a number of nests, and there were 

 always two (or one only if incomplete) in a clutch. The eggs measure from 17 to 18 

 by 10 to ll'l mm. They are not quite equal at both ends, l)ul one end is decidedly 

 more pointed. 



Messrs. Meyer & Wiglesworth mention of specimens from the island of Haiiggai 

 that their wings were 69 to 90 mm. long, while those from North Celebes had wings 

 85 to 97 mm. long. Those from Indrulaman have the wings 95 to 102 mm. long. 

 Unless many of the skins before me are wrongly sexed, which seems not to be 

 possible, these differences are not sexual, nor can I account for tlinm in any other way. 



50. Halcyon chloris (liodd.). 

 Up to at least IJOOO feet on Pontliain I'^ak. 



57. Ceycopsis fallax (Schl). 



?. Indrulaman, 2o()0 feet, October 1895. " Iris dark browu; bill and feet and 

 nails bright coral-red ; middle of culmen faintly tinged with black." 



This specimen differs from three skins from Lambeh, North Celebes, in having 

 the interscapular region of the same l)rowii colour as the wing-coverts and scapulars, 

 while the Lambeh skins have the inter.scapulium light rufous. Hofrath Meyer, who 

 has mon> material to compare, kindly informed me that he had siiecimens from the 

 nortli wliicb did not differ from our Indrulaman skin. 



58. Coracias temmiucki (\'ieill.). 

 September, Makassar ; November, Bulekomba. 

 '■ ? ad. Iris chocolate ; bill black ; feet olive-yellow ; claws black."
