An interesting account of the habits and nesting of this species in Java, and of the 
peculiar structure of its spinal column, has been given by Bernstein (J. fiir O. /. c.); also 
detailed observations on parts of its internal anatomy, and of that of C. affinis (Horsf.), 
by the same author, in the Tijdschrift (/. ¢.). The skeleton of the Celebean bird will 
have to be compared with that of the Javan before the absolute identity of the two 
species can be established.
