1G4 ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES. [1S72. 



A species of the above genus, collected by Mr. AVallace, is referred, with some doubt, to the 

 bird figured and described by the late Mr. Strickland. The chin and throat are white ; the rest 

 of the under surface is washed with pale ferruginous faintly tinged with bro^^'n. The upper 

 plumage and wings are dark olive-brown, the loose plumes of the lower back being tinged with 

 rust)', and the upper tail-coverts being distinctly rust-coloured. The outer edges of the rectrices 

 are rusty brown. Lores and cheeks dingy white. Wing 2|, tail 2f, tarsus 1. 



While e\'idently belonging to the genus Tnchosfoma, this species differs structurally from 

 T. bicolor (Lesson) of Sumatra and Malacca, by having the rictal bristles but slightly developed 

 and the tail proportionally short.

Hab. North Celebes (Forsten). 



This species was found to be scarce by Mr. Wallace (Ibis, 1860, p. 142). When remarking 

 that three species of Pitta inhabited Celebes, Mr. Wallace {I. c.) was probably misled by 

 Bonaparte's Conspectus, wherein P. mulleri, Bp., is stated to be from Celebes instead of 

 Borneo.
