The southern lurm of C. mnnillensis is so closely allied to C. manilleiisis 

 manilleitsis that it is best treated as a subspecies of the latter. It differs only in 

 the white tips to the lateral rectrices in the adult males occupying both wel)s and 

 being generally larger, the barring on the abdomen being generally coarser, and 

 generally, bnt not always, the rictal bristles being somewhat longer and stronger. 

 The immature birds, and ajiparently females, are hardly separable from manillensis 

 without comparing several specimens. Besides (Celebes (whence only two examples 

 are known at jiresent) this form is only known from Wetter, where Schiidler got 

 oiie. female, recorded by Finsch as manillensis. Mr. Kiihn sent : 



1 c?, 1 ?, Wetter, October 1002. (Nos. 5777, 5847.) "Iris S dark reddish 

 brown (¥ dark brown), feet 6 pale brown (? dull brown-red), bill black, brownish 

 below."
