"The islands to the eastward of Celebes (the Papuan or Austro- 

 Malayan region of Mr. Wallace) are characterized by a large number 

 of peculiar genera. Of these at least forty-four are absent from 

 Celebes. Besides the families of the Epimachidce and the Paradi- 

 seides, important groups, such as Podargus, Pachycephala, and 

 Manucodia, are all wanting. Nor does a single Papuan Muscicapine 

 form occur in Celebes. Papuan genera belonging to the two great 

 orders Psittaci and Columbce, orders which are so largely developed 

 in the Australian region, and in no part of that region to a greater 

 extent than in its Papuan subregion, are found in Celebes. This 

 fact is justly regarded as sufficient to stamp the ornis of that island 

 with a Papuan character. Yet among the Psittacidce such essen- 

 tially typical Australian genera (also Papuan) as Lorius and Pla- 

 tycercus do not extend to Celebes. And several peculiar Papuan 

 types are there unknown. The Columbse of the Papuan subregion 

 are well represented in Celebes ; yet, with one exception (Phlegoenas), 

 all the Papuan genera of the Gouridoe are missing*. 



" By the annexed table it will also be seen that several remarkable 

 Papuan forms belonging to another characteristic Papuan family 

 (Alcedinidce) are not found in Celebes. 



* Gdcrnas is a migratory form.
