jrom Celebes and the Togian Islands. 399 



This species is intermediate between L, stigmatus (Miiller 

 & Schlegel) and L. Wallacei, G. R. Gray. In dimensions the 

 three are about equal. From L. Wallacei it differs by having 

 a scarlet cap, by the golden of the back reaching to the nape, 

 by the darker red of the uropygium and upper tail-coverts, 

 and by the sexes differing ; from L. stigmatus by the golden 

 back, by the chin and throat-spot being much smaller, and 

 the red of the uropygium not being quite so dark. All the 

 examples sent are from the Togian Islands.

Sent from Celebes by Dr. Meyer. The examples are in 

 such bad order that it is not possible to discover whether the 

 scarlet of the upper plumage is continuous or whether it is 

 interrupted by brown on the nape. 



This bird very nearly resembles the figure given by Aude- 

 bert and Vieillot (Ois. Dor^s, ii. p. 113, pi. 54), and drawn by 

 Edwards, of Latham's Scarlet Creeper (Synop. i. p. 740),= 

 Certhia rubra, Gm., and described from an example in the 

 Leverian Museum said to have come from the South Seas. 

 But Latham describes " the lower part of the belly and vent " 

 as white, and the wings as black.
