Comparing our series of T. manadensis, I cannot find that the females are 

 appreciably smaller than the mrdes. I find, however, that the birds from the Sula 

 Islands and from Peling are much smaller. There are five from Sula in the British 

 Museum, two (all collected by A. K. Wallace) in the Tring IMuseum, and one from 

 Peling in the Tring collection, which shows no sign of immaturity. The wing of 

 Celebes examples measures 190 to 210 mm., but very seldom under 195, while that 

 of the Sula and Peling birds is only 180 to 185 mm. long. It is therefore opportune 

 to separate the form inhabiting Sula and Peling under a new subspecific title, and I 

 herewith call it 



Turacoena manadensis svlaensis subsp. nov.

These specimens are averaging rather large, the wings of the adult males 

 measuring 158 to 164 mm. Some Celebes specimens, however, are equally large. 

 The Sangi race (^sanr/irensis) is much larger. Sula examples are usually smaller, 

 and can probably be separated as a smaller race, but we have not a sufficient series 

 to allow us to conclude.
