(82) ; tail, 64-69.5 (67.2) ; culmen, 12.5-14 (13.3), and seven females 

 wing, 78.5-85 (81.4) ; tail 61-69.5 (65.7) ; culmen 13-14 (13.4). 



It is possible that the above is only Pdchycephala honensis re- 

 described, but I do not think so, as they both seem to be mountain 

 species and their ranges are separated by a considerable stretch 

 of country. Generally speaking the birds of central Celebes, with a 

 few exceptions, are racially different and more closely related to 

 those of the south. Then as far as can be told from the plate of 

 Pachyce/phala honensis^ the immature of the two species are different, 

 as mentioned above. This is not conclusive, however, as they might 

 not be of the same age. The only way to settle the matter is to secure 

 adults of the latter and carefully compare them with Pachycephala 

 phtmiosa. 



Strictly, however, none of the Celebes species usually placed in 

 Pachycephala Vigors and Horsfield (type MuHcicapa pectoralh 

 Latham) really belong there, but until the genus has been thoroughly 

 revised, I do not know where else to place the above species. 



Genus CORACORNIS Riley.'^ 



The original description is as follows: 



Apparently related to PachycepJiala Vigors and Horsfield but the rictal 

 bristles longer ; the outer primary proportionally longer and broader ; rectrices 

 broader, bluntly pointed instead of obliquely rounded), and the webs at the 

 end semidecomposed, giving a softer texture to the feathers ; nostril oval and 

 parallel with the tomia (instead of short ovate and oblique) ; tail rounded; 

 and color pattern entirely different. 



Type and only known species the following : 



168. CORACORNIS RAVENI Riley.w 



One female, Goenoeng Lehio, January 14, 1917; one adult male 

 (type), one immature male, and one female, Rano Rano, December 

 9-28, 1917. 



The original description of this species is as follows : 



Chin, upper throat, sides of face, top of head, and hind neck sooty-black with 

 a slight olive tinge on the hind neck ; lesser wing-coverts, mantle, and rump, 

 mahogany red ; middle and greater wing-coverts, remiges, rectrices, and longer 

 upper tail-coverts, black ; lower throat, jugulum, and breast dark olive gray 

 with a light yellowish olive wash ; belly and crissum lighter than the breast 

 and with a much heavier wash of light yellowish olive, hiding the under color ; 

 under wing-coverts like the breast ; remiges below fuscous, the inner primaries 

 and secondaries bordered slightly on the inner web with tilleul-buff. Wing, 

 82.5 ; tail, 67.5 ; culmen, 14 ; tarsus, 23 ; middle toe, 13.5 mm. 



The female quite different, may be described as follows: Above, raw umber, 

 lighter and with a grayish cast on top of head ; tail sepia, the feathers edged
