 Hab. Celebes only, if distinct from Indian and Malayan species {covf. Wallace, I. c). 

 In Mr. J. H. Gurney's opinion the Celebean Pernis should receive a distinct specific title ; 

 and Mr. A^'allace writes that it is distinct. I have been unable to examine any examples.

JIah. Philippines (f/y/jf) ; Celebes, Sulu Islands ( TF«Z^c/r(') ; Borneo (Schlegel). 



Professor Schlegel (Valkv. p. 77) states that the types of Lophotes reinwardtii, Schlegel & 

 Miiller (Verb. Ned. overz. Bezitt. Aves, p. 37, pi. 5. figs. 1, 2, "Celebes"), were not obtained by 

 Reinwardt in Celebes, and that the Dutch travellers have never obtained it in that island. 

 The Professor, while identifying the Celebean Baza with the Philippine species, points out 

 differences which may eventually prove sufficient to justify the Celebean bird being specifically 

 separated from the Philippine. 

 Tr. Z. S. viii. In the ' Hand-list ' Mr. Gray has introduced li. reinwardtii as a second Celebean species. 



^'" '■ No authentic account of its occun-cnce in Celebes has as yet been published, while Professor 

 Schlegel and Mr. Wallace restrict its range to Bourou, Ceram, and Amboyna.

 title on it in 1829.
