562 ON SOME NEW SPECIES OF BIRDS. [1877. 



MULLEEIPICUS WALLACEI, sp. n. 



Mulleripicus fulvus (Quoy & Gaim.), partim, Walden, Tr. Z. S. viii. p. 41. no. 35, ex 

 Macassar. [Anfea, p. 144.] 



d . Differs from typical M. fulvus 6 (ex Menado) by the upper plumage being of a darker 



A. M. N. H. shade of slate-grey, by the occiput as well as the forehead and vertex being red, and by the bill 



^'"".'sai^' being shorter. The eye is surrounded by red, which extends some way behind it, whereas in 



true M. fulvus the white-spotted grey feathers of the occiput commence at the posterior part of 



the eye, and separate the red of the vertex from that of the face. 



2 . Differs from true 31. fulvus $ (ex Menado) by having the white-tipped feathers of the 

 head restricted to the occiput, by the spots being smaller and not so profuse, and by the white 

 dots on the throat being almost obsolete.

The Macassar examples were collected by Mr. A. Wallace, after whom I venture to name 

 the species. Those from Menado by Dr. B. Meyer. 



MULLEEIPICUS FDLIGINOSUS, sp. n. 



6 . Slaty smoke-grey. Feathers of the forehead, vertex, occiput, chin, throat, and neck 

 with a terminal white or fulvous-white linear mark. Lores, ear-coverts, and ophthalmic region 

 uniform grey. Feathers covering basal walls of mandible and the cheeks crimson. 



Wing 6-25 inches, tail 5"25, culmen 1-70, tarsus 1-00. 



From Surigao (N. Mindanao), where discovered by Mr. Everett. 



Pem;lopides affinis, sp. n. 



d . Like P.panini, but differs by wanting the perpendicular grooves on the thick lateral 

 plates of the maxilla, which are smooth, by the grooves at the base of the mandible not being 

 recurved, but straight, by the whole bill being much less massive, by the abdominal region and 

 under tail-coverts being of the same colour as the breast, and not rufous, by the upper tail-coverts 

 being black, and not rufous, and by the rectrices having a black band at their insertion. 



$ . Bill as in male, and to that extent differs from that of P. jjanini ? . The female also 

 differs by having a black band at the base of the rectrices.
