measuring. In oiio of our nuiles the wliile on the oociimt is much more developed 

 timn in the otlier, and in the tyi)e there is a little less even than in tiie latter. The 

 white on the shortened outer rectrices is also a little more marked in the two 

 ("elebes specimens, and one of them has also a narrow white tip to one of the 

 longest rectrices. All these characters, however, vary much in the other sjieoies of 

 Surnimdus, and they also differ in the two specimens from Celebes. 



The specimens were shot ;it Indrulaman, and ;irc in perfect plumage. 



tiT. Phoenicophaes calorliynchus meridionalis ( Mey. & yvig\.) (Abh.und Ber. Mus. 



Dresden, 189G, No. 2, p. 11). 



Three skins from Indrulaman (breed! w) at the time, according to Mr. Kvc>rett) 

 dift'er considerably from the bii'd from Northern Celelies in ha\ing a much jialer 

 crown and a decidedly paler throat, and it seems that also the tail is about half an 

 inch longer than in any of the northern specimens. Messrs. Meyer &\Viglesworth 

 have (I.e.) proposed the name of Rhamphococcyx calorhynchus meridioncdis for this 

 form, and the former gentleman kindly compared one of our specimens with their 

 type. The discovery of Count Berlepsch of the ditTerence between the Plioeiilcophaes 

 from the Malay Peninsula and Borneo in the diflferent form of the nostrils clearly 

 shows that the genera Dryococcy.v, Urococcyx, Rhinococcyx, and Rhamphococcyx 

 cannot be upheld wisely, and the Count also encloses the Phoenicophaes of Ceylon 

 in the same genus, the latter name thus having the prioritv as the generic title of 

 t he group. 



08. Ceutropus javanicus Dumont. 



Indrulaman. " Iris dark brown ; bill black ; legs and claws blackish pluniiieous 

 (fevtiales)." 



(19. Pyrrhocentor celebensis ((Juoy i*i (iaim.). 



Indrulaman. ■' cJ. Iris crimson-lake; bill and orbital skin black; legs and 

 claws blackish plumbeous." These specimens do not belong to P. celfhensis riife.ieens, 

 a well recognisable subspecies recently described by Messrs. Meyer t'i M'iglesworth, 

 who received it from Tonkean. Two of the cotypes of the latter are in (he Tring 

 Museum. 



70. Tanygnathus miilleri (Miill. .^ Schleg.). 



Apparently common at Indrulaman. The ovaries of the adult females showed 

 (in October) no sign of enlarged eggs. Tlie bills of the females from Indrulaman 

 are white, those of the nudes red. 



71. Prioniturus platurus (Temm.). 



Apparenll\ mu\ rare at Indrulaman. i wing 181 — 18o mm. J. " Iris dark 

 chocolate; bill black, basal half nearly white; feet greenish grey." 



72. Loriculus stigmatus (.Midi, it hichleg.). 



Some specimens from Makassar and one frmn Indrulaman. The adult male 

 from .Makassar has the red of the crown extended much farther back than the 

 'iivde from Indndaniau.
