36 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES. 
Mityus, Cuvier. 
22. Minvus arrinis, Gould, P. Z. 8. 1837, p. 140; Birds of Austr. i. pl. 21; Wallace, 
Ibis, 1868, p.16; Valkv. Nederl. Ind. pl. 20. fig. 1. 
Hab. Macassar, Timor (Wallace); Australia (Gould). 
I hesitate to include Sumatra within the range of this form, as that habitat rests 
only on the correct identification of a skeleton in the Leyden Museum. 
Exanvs, Savigny. 
23. ELANUS HYPoLEUcus, Gould, P. Z. 8. 1859, p. 127, “ Macassar;” Wallace, Ibis, 
1868, p. 17. 
? Elanus intermedius, Schlegel, Mus. Pas-Bas, Milvi, p. 7 (1862). 
Hab. Macassar (Wallace); and if the same as E. intermedius, Schlegel, North Celebes, 
Borneo, Java (Schlegel). 
Pernis, Cuvier. 
24, PERNIS PTILORHYNCHA (Temm.), Pl. Col. livr. viii. pl. 44, “Java et Sumatra” (26th 
July, 1823); Verh. Ned. overz. Bezitt. Aves, p. 49, pl. 7, “ Sumatra.” 
Pernis cristata, Cuv.! R. Anim. ed. 2, i. p. 335, “ Java” (1829). 
Var. celebensis, Schlegel, Valkv. Nederl. Ind. pl. 26. f. 4; Wall. Ibis, 1868, p. 17. 
Hab. Celebes only, if distinct from Indian and Malayan species (conf. Wallace, 1. c.). 
In Mr. J. H. Gumey’s opinion the Celebean Pernis should receive a distinct specific 
title; and Mr. Wallace writes that it is distinct. I have been unable to examine any 
examples. 
Baza, Hodgson. 
25. Baza MaGNirostris, G. R. Gray, List Birds Brit. Mus. 1844, p. 19, “ Philippine 
Islands ;” Kaup, Isis, 1847, p. 343; Schlegel, Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk. 1866, 
p- 328; Schlegel, Vog. Nederl. Ind. Valky. pp. 40, 75, pl. 28. f. 4, 5. 
Pernis crassirostris, Kaup, Contrib. Orn. 1850, p. 77. 
Hab. Philippines (type); Celebes, Sulu Islands (Wallace); Borneo (Schlegel). 
Professor Schlegel (Valkv. p. 77) states that the types of Lophotes reinwardtii, 
Schlegel & Miiller (Verh. Ned. overz. Bezitt. Aves, p. 37, pl. 5. figs. 1, 2, “ Celebes”), 
were not obtained by Reinwardt in Celebes, and that the Dutch travellers have never 
obtained it in that island. The Professor, while identifying the Celebean Baza with 
the Philippine species, points out differences which may eventually prove sufficient to 
justify the Celebean bird being specifically separated from the Philippine. 
In the ‘ Hand-list’ Mr. Gray has introduced B. reinwardtii as a second Celebean 
1 Tt seems to haye been overlooked that, although Cuvier discriminated this species in 1817, he only conferred 
a Latin title on it in 1829.
