been described as possessing a Celebean origin whicb most assuredly 

 do not occur in the island. 



" To give a clear idea of the geographical relation of the Celebean 

 avifauna I have thrown its one hundred and forty-nine genera into 

 tables, and classed them according to the regions and subregions 

 they may be said to belong to. The geographical character of a 

 genus has been determined according to the area which possesses the 

 preponderating number of species. Thus Artamus is classed as an 

 Australian genus, because at least thirteen species of it occur within 

 the Australian region, while one only is peculiar to the Indian ; 

 Arachnothera as an Indian genus, although one species is found in 

 New Guinea. 



" By means of these tables it will be seen that thirty-eight Indian 

 genera occur in Celebes ; of these, three are peculiarly Indo-Malayan. 



" Table I. — Showing the Indian genera found in Celebes. — 

 N.B. Those peculiar to the Indo-Malayan subregion are marked 

 with an asterisk.

" The next table consists of the twenty-three Australian genera 

 which are also Celebean. Two of these appear to be peculiar to 

 the Australian subregion J ; of the remainder some are Papuan, and 

 some extend into the Polynesian subregion.
