XXXIV. — On a new Specicfi o/'Trichoglossusyro??? Celebes. 

 By Artiiuu, Viscount Walden, F.R.S., P.Z.S. 



A LA ROE collection of birds obtained by Dr. A. B. Meyer in 

 Nortli Celebes, and kindly placed by him at my dis])osal for 

 examination, contains several exam})les of a hitherto unde- 

 scribed species of Tn'chngloiifiHs. They evidently belong to 

 the same species which supplied the individual refeiTcd to by 

 Mr. Wallace (Proe. Zool. Soc. 1862, p. 337) as having been 

 collected by him at ]\[enado, but Avhich was unfortunately 

 destroyed before he had been able to identify it. lie referred 

 it, however, with some contidence, to T. jiavoviruUs of the 

 Sula Islands. Dr. O. Finsch, in his well-known work (Papag. 

 ii. p. 850), not deeming the evidence sufficient, restricted the 

 range of T. favoviridis to the Sula Islands ; and the examples 

 sent from Menado by Dr. Meyer fully justify this caution. 

 The North-Celebean form, although possessing a general re- 

 semblance to T. flavoviridis^ is a distinct species, cliiefly dif- 

 fering l)y wanting the yellow head and breast and tlie l)lack 

 chhi and nuchal collar of the Sula bird ; in it also the bill is 

 shorter and less produced. 



Trichoglossus Meyeri, n. sp. 

 Green ; forehead, occiput, and nape dark olive-brown tinged 

 with golden, most marked on the forehead. Cheeks and 

 loreal plumes same as head, but each feather with a yellow 

 border- Ear-coverts bright yellow, forming an isolated, 

 distinct, yellow patch on each side of the head. Undes 

 surface one uniform tint of greenish yellow, each feather 

 bordered with dark green. Interscapularies yellow at base, 

 broadly bordered with the prevailing green of the back.
