Lalage agrees with L. melanoleuca (Blyth) from the Philippines ; but that species is without a 

 white supercilium {Jifle Hartl. J. fiir Om. 1865, p. 1G3). 



This is probably the L. leucopygialis of Mr. Gray's Hand-list; but as no description is given, 

 his title cannot be noticed. 



The Lalage which inhabits South-eastern Borneo differs from the Javan form in its longer 

 whig and broader though not longer bill.

This species is stated to occur in Celebes by Bonaparte and Dr. Hartlaub. JNIr. Wallace, 

 however, is of opinion that it cannot be "considered a Celebean bird.

Hab. Menado (7nus. nostr.). 



Salomon Miiller (/. c.) expressly states that this species inhabits Celebes, and neither 

 Sumatra nor Banda. 



DICRURID^.

Hah. Macassar, Menado {Wallace). 



Closely resembles B. pectoralis, Wallace, of the Sula Islands, but is somewhat larger in all 

 its dimensions. The irides are stated by Mr. Wallace to be invariably milk-white, while in the 

 Sula species and in all others known they are red. 



The type of Vieillot's genus Dicrums, Corims balicassius, L., appears to stand alone ; audit 

 will be perhaps necessary to form a separate genus for the reception of all the Austro-Malayan 

 Dicruridae, whose affinities seem to be with Chibia, Hodgs.
