268 HYPOTAENIDIA CELEBENSIS, 
Hypotaenidia celebensis. 
Hypotaenidia celebensis (Q. et G.): Sharpe, t‚c.p. 45. 
The Leyden Museum contains a large series of this 
species, almost exclusively from Northern Celebes, viz. 
from Minahassa, Gorontalo and Pagoeat. Several of these 
are young birds and they invariably show a great deal of 
white on the throat, but some of the old individuals have 
the throat almost entirely black. In nearly every specimen 
the wing-coverts bare a faint indication of reddish bars, 
and in the young birds the wing-coverts are plentifully, 
though obscurely, barred with black and rufous, and the 
quills and tail-feathers are very distinctly banded with 
rufous. Young birds are all much more plentifully , though 
obscurely, barred with black and rufous, and the quills and 
tail-feathers are very distinctly banded with rufous. Young 
birds are all much more plentifully barred underneath than 
the old ones, and the flanks and under tail-coverts are 
also banded with rusty. 
Hypotaenidia Jentinki, sp. n. 
This is an interesting form of Rail of the group of 
H. celebensis and H. saturata. Like the latter bird it has 
an intensely black throat, but it is easily distinguished by 
its rufous, instead of olive, brown colour on the back and 
wings. This rufous colour also separates the species from 
H. celebensis and in addition it has the centre of the 
head blackish brown, and the lores, ear-coverts and sides 
of crown, jet black. Total length 11.0 inches, culmen 1.7, 
wing 6.1, tail 2.3, tarsus 2.15, middle toe and claw 2.15. 
Hab. Island of Sula Mangola. 
Ocydromus australis. 
N° 1 is of the O. Karli group — marked by Finsch 
‘Ocydromus nova sp., much lighter grey than O. Karli, 
and much paler above, but it has none of the colour of 
O. australis.
