12. COMPSOENAS RADIATA (Quoy and Gaimard). 



One male, Toemaratas, July 7, 1916; one male, Rano Lindoe, 

 March 16, 1917; two males and one female, Rano Rano, December 

 23-27, 1917; two males Pinedapa, January 12 and 20, 1918. 



As this species differs structurally from Zono^haps Salvadori, in 

 having the inner web of the three outer primaries widened about the 

 middle, then sinuated to the tips, instead of having the two outer 

 primaries scooped out about the middle, I have erected the genus 

 Compsoenas ^® for its reception. Tlie only other species that appears 

 to be congeneric with the above is, Carjjophaga viindorensis "Wliite- 

 head, of Mindoro, Philippines, but I have not handled a specimen of 

 the latter ; the plate ^° indicates close relationship, however, and em- 

 phasizes the derivation of the avifauna of northern Celebes. 



The iris consists of two bands of color ; the outer bright red, the inner black 

 anteriorly with the posterior half orange. — H. C. R.
