]34 Dr. A. B. Meyer's Field-notes 



" Sie " is the name for Cahrnis ; it is said to fly in eorapany 

 with a flock oi* Calornis neylecta, a single large bird among 

 many of these smaller ones. 



Appears to be rare. Not fonnd at all near Menado daring 

 the mouths which I sjjent there. Rurukan, May ; Limbotto, 

 July. 



ACRIDOTHEllES CINEREUS^ MUli. 



I never obtained this bird in the north of Celebes ; but near 

 Makassar it is very common. 



Sturnia pyrrhogenys (Sehleg.). 



From the Minahassa and the district of Gorontalo ; not at 

 all times present. 



Enodes erythrophrys (Temm.). 



Only near Kakas (about 2000 feet), procured by me in 

 June, but abundant there. 



Calornis neglecta, Walden. 



Native Malay name, " Sie." (The Ternate species is called 

 there " Idi-idi.'') 



The most common bird near Menado, January to July ; 

 Limbotto, July. Young males and females with streaked 

 plumage. 



Perhaps not to be separated from C. panayensis from the 

 Philippines. 



COLUMB^. 



As a general remark, I beg to say that most species of 

 the Pigeon tribe in Celebes fly out in the morning from 6 

 till 9 o^clock, then frequent very dense and shady spots, rest 

 till 4 P.M., and fly again from 4 till 6 p.m. for food. In cap- 

 tivity they sit quietly, devour greedily the food which they 

 can get, but do not show signs of active life. 



Osmotreron GRisEicAUDA (Gray). 



Native Malay name, " Pombo-idiu,'' i. e. " Green Dove." 

 Alfurous name in the Minahassa, " Wungull.'^ 



Cry kmvu, kuivu, sad and howling. Old folks say to little 

 children who whine that they arc just like this bird.
