a deeper buff; the back lacks the brownish tinge and the tips of the 

 wing-coverts, secondaries, and primaries have the buff a deeper tint ; 

 the barring on the sides and flanks are more pronounced; the dark 

 bars on the tail are more distinct and the buff of the notches deeper. 

 The j^.ustralian specimen has been mounted and some of these differ- 

 ences may be due to exposure to light. 

 The series measures as follows: 



124. CENTROPUS BENGALENSIS SARASINORUM Stresemann." 



Three males, five females, and one unsexed, from the following 

 localities: Kwandang, October 26, 1914; Likoepang, February 20, 

 March 2 and 9, 1916 ; Parigi, September 26, 1916 ; Toboli, October 25, 

 1916; Rano Lindoe, March 8 and 21, 1917; Lende, June 15, 1917. 



The above series has been compared with a fair number from the 

 Philippines, and a few specimens from Java and the Malay Penin- 

 sula. Birds from the latter three localities seem to agree in size and 

 color, but those from Celebes are larger and do not seem to be quite 

 so dark on the backs ; the color differences are slight but that of size 

 entitles the Celebes form to recognition. 



The series at mv command averages as follows :
