ON THE BIEDS OF CELEBES. 



129 



The next table consists of the twenty-three Australian genera which are also Celebean. 

 Two of these appear to be peculiar to the Australian subregionj; of the remainder some are 

 Papuan, and some extend into the Polynesian subregion. 



Table II. — Showing the Australian genera found in Celebes. — N.B. Those belonging especially Tr. Z. S. viii. 

 to the Australian subregion are marked with a dagger (f ) ; to the Papuan ^ with an ^'" ^^" 

 asterisk (*). 



Eighteen Celebean genera may be considered common to the Indian and Australiau 

 regions, the proportion of species in each region being about equal. Some occur outside 

 the limits. 



Table III. 



Showing the genera found in Celebes which are also common to the Indian and 

 N.B. Genera which do not occur in the Polynesian subregion are 

 marked with an asterisk.

Fifty-eight are genera which are found within the limits of the Indian region and also 

 beyond. Eight of these belong to the Rapaces, six to the Picarise, two to the Gallinae, twenty- 

 five to the Gralla;, ten to the Anseres, and only seven to the Passeres. Nine of these fifty-eight 

 genera are unrepresented in the Australian subregion.

 beyond the limits of the Indian region. — N.B. Genera not occurring in the Australian sub- 

 region are marked with an asterisk.
