VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES. 35 
feather being pure white; minor and major under wing-coverts pure white, a few 
possessing a terminal light-brown spot or drop; axillaries immaculate white; major 
wing-coverts brown on outer, white, barred with brown, on the inner web; no trace of 
an occipital crest; bill exceedingly powerful, height from festoon to culmen being full 
five eighths of an inch. This bird closely resembles a Cingalese example of a young 
S. cirrhatus, Gm. (=S. cristatellus, Temm.) in my collection. The only points of dif- 
ference in the Cingalese individual being, besides its smaller dimensions, a black 
occipital crest three inches and a half long, the major wing-coverts being mostly white, 
and the axillaries and thigh-coverts being white, largely dashed, freckled, and barred 
with a clear tint of pale rufous. In the Celebean bird the tarsal feathers incline to 
cover the insertion of the toes. Dimensions:—wing 16 inches, tail 11%, tarsus 33, 
mid toe with claw 23, bill from gape 2.
