on the Birds of Celebes. 137 



Hemiphaga forsteni (Temm.). 

 Native name^ " Tuptup,'^ 



Not so rare as Zonoenas radiata (Q. & G.) at Kakas, the 

 only spot where I got H. forsteni. 



Macropygia albicapilla, Temm. 



Very abundant at all times and everywhere on Celebes — 

 Menado, Kakas, Langowan^ Likupang, Isle of Banka (in the 

 north of Likupang), Limbotto, Togian Islands, Posso, South 

 Celebes. 



I believe that M. albicapilla and M. macassariensis cannot 

 be separated specifically, nor even as varieties. The sole dif- 

 ference between these two is said to be the white and brown 

 head ; but all intermediate stages can be found, nor are the 

 birds divided geographically. These differences, in my opi- 

 nion, are due to differences of age and sex. 



TuRACOENA MENADENSIS (Q. & G.) . 



Native Malay name, '' Pombo-itam-kapala-puti," i, e. 

 " Black Dove with white head.'' Alfurous name in the Mina- 

 hassa, " Trawuwu." 



Common bird. Menado, January to July; Limbotto_, 

 July ; Togian Islands, August. 



Cry, kaukau, very high, as a knock on an empty cask. 



Mostly flies alone. Feeds on different fruits, such as Ccqj- 

 sicum fastigiatum, BL, &c. 



Iris red. 



Reixwardtcena reinwardti (Temm,). 



Kakas, June. 



TuRTUR tigrina (Temm.). 



Native Malay name, " Terkuku." 



A very common bird in the Minahassa (Limbotto, July) 

 everywhere near the roads, on the sea-shore, and in the moun- 

 tains. Flies in pairs ; the male sings alongside the female ; 

 two eggs ; nest of dry twigs ; feeds on rice and the like. 



This bird was introduced from Java about the year 1835, 

 and has spread rapidly over the country. 



Phloggenas tristigmata (Temm.). 



Gorontalo.
