NOTE XXIII. 
ON TWO NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS STOPAROLA 
FROM CELEBES 
BY 
J. BUTTIKOFER.

there are four from Celebes which prove to belong to two

This species might, with regard to its color, the best

General color above bluish green with more or less 
distinct verditer-blue edgings to the feathers on back and 
rump; quills black, all but the two outermost primaries 
distinctly edged with greenish blue on the basal half of 
the outer web, outer secondaries broadly edged with bluish 
green, inner entirely bluish green on the outer web, wing- 
coverts of the same color as the back; tail black above 
and below, with the outer webs of tail-feathers bluish green 
like the back, this color being predominent on both webs 
of the innermost pair, leaving only a shaft-streak pure 
black. A broad loral streak, reaching in a narrow angle 
to the fore-head, pure black, fore-head and a narrow 
streak reaching over the eye verditer-green with a silvery 
gloss, sides of head dark bluish green, spotted with 
verditer, chin, throat, chest, breast and flanks with broad, 
silvery verditer-blue edgings, giving these parts a more
