le nom de Malco ne nous est point encore parvenu" (PI. Col. 411); and he then states that it 

 must not be confounded with the other Celebean Megapode, M. ruhripcs, Temm. It was, how 

 ever, so confounded for many years after, until Prince Bonaparte (/. c.) enumerated it as a distinct 

 species in his ' Tableaux ParalU'liques.' Temminck does not appear either to have published 

 the characters of his genus Megncephalon* . 



A fine male from North-east Celebes {mus. nostr.) has the head, chin, throat, and entire 

 upper half of the neck naked, with a few straggling, short, brown feathers interspersed. The 

 quills, rcctriccs, upper and under tail-coverts are deep brown, nearly black, with a dark green 

 gloss. Upper breast and entire upper surface dark brown. Under surface and flanks salmon- 

 colour. Fifth and sixth quills equal, and longest ; fourth and seventh a trifle shorter, and equal ; 

 third somewhat shorter than fourth ; the second an inch shorter than the third, and the first an 

 inch shorter than the second.
