VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES. 43 
CORACIID. 
Coractas, Linnzeus. 
40. CoRactas TEMMINCKI (Vieillot), N. Dict. Sc. Nat. xxix. p. 435, “l'Inde” (1819), ex 
Levaillant, Hist. Nat. Promér. & Guép. iii. Suppl. p. 46, pl. G; Schlegel, Mus. 
Pays-Bas, Coraces, p.138; Wallace, Malay Archipel. i. p. 337. 
Coracias papuensis, Quoy et Gaimard, Voy. de l’Astrol. Zool. p. 220, pl. 16, “ Dorey,” errore (1830). 
Hab. Kema (Forsten); Gorontalo, Modelido (Von Rosenberg) ; Menado (mus. nostr.) ; 
Macassar (Wallace). 
In the ‘ Hand-list,’ no. 899, Mr. G. R. Gray extends the range of this species to the 
Sula Islands. Mr. Wallace is unable to confirm this statement, but writes to me that it 
is probable. I have failed in finding any confirmation among the Dutch writers. 
Evrystomus, Vieillot. 
4]. Evurystomus oR1zNTALIS (Linn.), 8. N. ed. 12, i. p. 159, ex Briss.; Schlegel, Mus. 
Pays-Bas, Coraces, p. 139. 
Eurystomus pacificus (Lath.), ap. Wallace, P. Z.S. 1862, p. 339. 
Hab. Limbotto, Gorontalo, Bongka, Ayer-pannas, Boné (Von Rosenberg); Menado 
(mus. nostr.) ; Indian region. 
The Eurystomus of Celebes belongs to the Asiatic and not to the Australian type, 
E. pacificus(Lath.). It is not to be distinguished from Ceylon and Indian examples. 
ALCEDINIDA. 
DAcELONIN2. 
Mownacuatcyon, Reichenbach. 
42, MonacHALcyoN PRINCEPS (Forsten), Mus. Lugd.; Bp. Consp. i. p. 154, “ Celebes,” 
adult; Schlegel, Vog. Ned. Ind. Zjsvogels, pl. 7. f. 1, 2, 3. 
Dacelo cyanocephalus, Forsten, Mus. Lugd. 
monachus, Temm. Mus. Lugd. 
Monachaleyon monachus, Sharpe, Mon. Alcedinidee, pt. xi. no. 87. 
Hab. Kema, Menado (Forsten). 
Mr. Sharpe, in his excellent Monograph, has adopted the specific title of monachus, 
given by Temminck to the very young bird. I have preferred, in the absence of any 
recognized rule in such a case, to use the title bestowed by Forsten on the fully adult 
bird. 
Ceram and Ternate are cited by Mr. G. R. Gray (Hand-list, no. 1068) as additional 
habitats of this remarkable species; it appears, however, to be a purely Celebean bird.
