In separating this form I have been aided by Mr. L. W. Wijjlesworth, the 

 co-author of the forthcoming work on the birds of Celebes, who kindly 

 gave me some measurements of specimens of C. sulpkurea in the Dresden 

 Mnsenm. 

 The measurement I gave, I.e., was taken in a straight line from the outer 

 margin of the cere, where maxilla and mandible meet, to the tip. It is in 

 the two, as I said, 24 mm., in one hardly more than 23-5. In Celebes 

 females (which are considerably smaller than malea !) this is 27 mm. The 

 width of the mandible is about 3 or 4 mm. less in C. s. d'lnmpeana than 

 in the smallest Celebes yewr^fe; the maxilla is considerably smaller and 

 narrower. 



There are thus three closely allied sabspecific forms : — 



C. sulphurea sulphurea from Celebes. 



C. sulphurea djampeana from Djampea, e.xactly like it, only with a smaller 



beak. 

 C. sulphurea parnda from the Lesser Sunda Islands, exactly like C. sulphurea 



sulphurea and of about the same dimensions, not smaller, with the beaks as 



a rule as powerful as in any from Celebes, but the ear-coverts paler and 



much less yellow. 



42. Trichoglnssus ornatus (L.). — Uougala and Tawaya. " Iris pink." 



43. Loriculns st/ffmatus (Miill. & Sehleg.).— Both sexes from Tawaya and Dongala, 



where they must have been common. " Iris pale yellow ; feet orange, 

 claws blackish; bill black; cere pale orange." 



44. Spilospi^ius frinotatus (Bp.). — Several examples from Tawaya and Dongala. 



belonging distinctly to the northern form. 



45. Accipiter rhodogaster (Sehleg.). — Dongala, male. 



46. Astur griseiceps Sehleg. — This rare species was shot at Dongala. 6. "Iris 



orange; feet ochreous, claws black ; maxilla black ; mandible grey ; cere 

 dull yellow." 



47. 48. Osmotrerun wallacei Salvad. and 0. remans (L.). — Both from Tawaya and 



Dongala. 

 49. Ptilinopus melanospilus (Salvad.). — Tawaya and Dongala. 



60. Ptilinopus gulari.<i (Q. & G.). — Tawaya. "Iris orange-scarlet; feet carmine, 



claws pale brown; bill bright orange-ochreous." 



61. Turtur tigriiius (Temm.). — Dongala. 



52, 53. Chalcophaps stephani Rchb. and C. indica (L.). — Tawaya and Dongala. 

 54. Myrislicivora hictuosa (Temm.). — Dongala and Tawaya. " Iris deep brown : 



feet slaty blue ; bill slaty blue, tip yellow." 

 65. Carpophaga paulina (Temm.). — A pair from Dongala. 



56. Turacoena manadensis (Quoy & Gaim). — One pair from Dongala. 



57. Macropi/gia albicapilla Bj>.—A/emale and a very young bird from Dongala. 

 68. Oenolimnas isnbellina (Sehleg.).— Of this rare rail we received & female, shot at 



Tawaya, in Sei)tember 1896. It is evidently adult. The iris was crimson: 

 feet dark brown; bill all pale green. 



59. Amauroryns phoenicura (Forst.),— Two young examples from Dongala. 



60. Eallina minahasa (Wall.).— One ndnlt female, Dongala, August 1896. "Iris 



bright orange, eyelids oclireous ; feet dark grey ; bill below bright green, 

 above black, tip pale corneous."
