The (J is perhaps not quite adult, and resembles tlie supposed race from Sangi, 

 hut immature birds from other localities are very much like it.

3 SS, Tomia, December 1901 (Nos. 4400—4402). "Iris yeHnwisli white or 

 greyish white, feet pale yellowish or i)ale greyish-yellosvisli, bill black, pale yellowish 

 at base below." The distribution of this bird extends from Australia to Timor, 

 Flores etc., and to Celebes. Specimens from Southern Celebes were desci-ibed by 

 Count Salvadori as T. heccavii, but they do not seem to differ from maculosus. 

 Adult females .should, however, be compared.

Hypotaenidia kuehni W. Rothsch., Bull. B. 0. Club xii. p. 75 (June 1902,

 feathers. Crown somewhat darker. No rufous patch on the sides of the chest or 

 lower neck. A broad blackish suiierciliary band, followed by a wide white band from 

 the base of the bill to the sides of the neck. Under-surface black, each feather with 

 three or more narrow white bars, the basal one of which is n.ostly interrupted and 

 sometimes absent ; these bars very narrow, obsolete, or absent on the throat. " Iris 

 blood-red (burnt-sienna red); bill blackish brown with crimson spots at base; feet 

 dull brown."

H. kuehni is evidently nearest to H. sulciro.stris from the Sula Islands, but 

 diflfers in the deep olive-brown, instead of "burnt umber" {i.e. a more or less rufous 

 brown), and the wing is longer. H. saturata from New (iuinea is also very nnich 

 like //. I:uehui, but differs in the more uniform and lighter olive-bro\vn upperside, 

 shorter wing and purer black throat. If. celebensia differs much more, being 

 considerably smaller, with a nuich shorter bill, and having a paler, more olive 

 upper .surface.
