1872.] ON THE BIEDS OF CELEBES. 147 



Mr. Sharpe, in his excellent Monograph, has adopted the specific title of monachns, given hy 

 Temminck to the very young bird. 1 have preferred, in the absence of any recognized rule in 

 such a case, to use the title bestowed by Forsten on the fully adult bird. 



Ceram and Ternate are cited by Mr. G. R. Gray (Hand-list, no. 10G8) as additional habitats 

 of this remarkable species ; it appears, however, to be a purely Celebean bird.

Mr. Sharpe {I. c.) has not included Celebes within the range of this species ; but Mr. Wallace 

 has informed me that he obtained it, as well as S. chloris, at Macassar.

Hab. Gorontalo {Forsten). 



The type specimen, an adult female, preserved at Leyden, is the only individual known. 

 In Prince Bonaparte's diagnosis Professor Schlegel (/. c.) substitutes the words "■ subtus nigrescens" 

 for " subfus alba." Mr. Sharpe informs me that " it is close to //. chloris, of which perhaps it 

 is only an accidental variety." 



Todiramphus fanebris (Forsten), Bp. (/. c), is from Gilolo, and not from Celebes, nor has 

 Alcedo diojjs, Temm., been found there since Temminck described the species.

The Celebean Callialcyon is the largest and most brilliantly coloured of the group. In both 

 these respects it differs ; and I therefore do not hesitate to retain Mr. Wallace's title.
