ffah. North-east Celebes (Wallace). 



Although we owe to Messrs. Gray and Mitchell (I. c.) an excellent figure, and to Mr. 

 Wallace (l. c.) a most interesting account of this species, no description, with a distinctive title, 

 appears ever to have been published of the adult bird. The specific title adopted above is the 

 name by which this Megapode is known to the natives of North Celebes, Temminck's only 

 published notice of the species is in these words : — " Le grand Megapode, connu aux Celebes sous 

 * [This appears to be the title under which this Megapode should stand, as Temminck does not seem (PI. Col. 411) 

 to have employed the title maleo in a systematic form. — Ed. ex Tweeddale, MS. note, in part.]
