black cap in E. Olebes. The type of M. m, intermecliui has the " iris deep 

 Timber ; feet reddish ; cLaws(hirk : beak scarlet." Wing about 142 mm. (moulting); 

 tail about 12"; beak 5U. 



32. Merops ornatus Lath.— J ?, Dongala. 



33. Penelopides exarhatui (Temm.). — Both sexes from Tawaya. The males, when 



freshly moulted, have the throat and sides of the head golden yellow; bnt 

 the yellow disai)pears in time, and thus the feathers become white, as they 

 are described in Cat. B. c?. " Iris crimson, eyelashes black, orbit bright 

 crimson ; feet black, soles ochreons ; bill pale horn-colour, casque dull 

 ferruginous." ? . " Iris dull crimson." 



34. Lichtemteinipieus tvallacei (Tweedd.).— It is this form and not the northern 



M. full-US of which Doherty sent two pairs from Dongala. The name 

 Liclifeiisteinipicus, although not a well-formed one, is the oldest, as it was 

 fixed on the Ficus funebris Valeuc, and it must therefore be accepted, 

 instead of MicrosticUts Harg. 

 3.1. Caeomantis virescens (Brligg.).— Tawaya. 



36. Caeomantis merulinus (Scop.). — A very pale rrutle from Tawaya. 



37. Pyrrhocentor celehensis nifescens Mey. it Wigl. (?).— Two skins from Dongala 



resemble very much the two cotypes of P. c. rufescens Mey. & Wigl. in the 

 Tring Museum, though they are a little paler below, and less rufous above, 

 where they look more like P. c. celebensis. When mentioning our birds 

 from ludrnlaman in South Celebes, p. IGO in Nov. Zool. III., I stated 

 that they did not belong to P. c. rufescens, and they were certainly more 

 greyish above and less reddish rufous below ; on the other hand, they are 

 more rufous below than any of our Minahassa specimens. The two we 

 received from Makassar (Doherty) are hardly different from P. c. rufescens 

 at all {antra, p. 160). A third skin, a male, from Dongala differs consider- 

 ably from any one I ever saw before. It has the hind-neck and iuter- 

 scapulium of the same rather bright though light rusty (somewhat like 

 ochraceous bafF) colour as the breast. Whether this is an accidental variety 

 I am unable to say. 



38. Phoenicophacs calorhynchus meridionalis (Mey. & Wigl.).— One female from 



Dongala belongs to the southern form of this bird. In fact it is even still 

 paler on the head than any of those from Indrulaman and Makassar before 

 me, but this is no doubt due to the very old plumage it is in. It is also 

 rather pale on the back and breast. " Iris crimson; feet purplish black." 



39. Eudynamis melanorhyncha S. Miill.— Two males from Tawaya and Dongala. 



" Iris red: feet and beak black." 



40. Tanygnathus miilleri (MUll. Sa Schleg.).— Dongala, female. " Bill dirty whitish 



horn-colour." 



41. Cacatua sulp/iurea (Gm.). — A vial.' from Dongala and a, female horn Tawaya. 



" Iris crimson ; feet and bill black." 

 On p. 1T6 in Nov. Zool. III. I mentioned that i^o females from Djampea had 

 very small beaks. I now find that Celebes birds have always larger bills, 

 and as the two females from Djampea are totally alike in the size of their 

 beaks, I do not hesitate any longer to separate them subspecifically, calling 

 them 



Cacatua sulphurea djampeana subsji. uov.
