Dr. Meyer and Mr. Wiglesworth have pointed out some 
slight differences which appear on comparing specimens from 
the following localities: Mainland of Celebes, Peling and 
Banggai Islands, Eastern Peninsula of Celebes, Lembeh 
Island, Talaut Islands, Sangi and Siao. The Talaut form 
has been named by Dr. Hartert. 
The specimen from Buru, mentioned by Schiegel, has 
turned out to belong to a distinct species.

«The mantle and wings of the Talaut birds are very much 
lighter and more greyish green than in P. platurus platurus, 
and the wing is from 5 to 10 mm. shorter. The orange 
patch across the mantle is not more orange than in most 
Celebes skins; but in most, though not all, Talaut males the 
lilac-bluish spot on the nape is paler.’ (Hartert.)
