62 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES. 
TIMALIIDZ. 
TricHostoma, Blyth.

Hab. Macassar (Wallace). 
A species of the above genus, collected by Mr. Wallace, is referred, with some doubt, 
to the bird figured and described by the late Mr. Strickland. The chin and throat are 
white; the rest of the under surface is washed with pale ferruginous faintly tinged with 
brown. The upper plumage and wings are dark olive-brown, the loose plumes of the 
lower back being tinged with rusty, and the upper tail-coverts being distinctly rust- 
coloured. The outer edges of the rectrices are rusty brown. Lores and cheeks dingy 
white. Wing 23, tail 23, tarsus 1. 
While evidently belonging to the genus 7richostoma, this species differs structurally 
from T. bicolor (Lesson) of Sumatra and Malacca, by having the rictal bristles but 
slightly developed and the tail proportionally short.

Brachyurus celebensis (Forst.), Elliot, Monogr. p. 67, pl. 17. 
Hab, North Celebes (Forsten). 
This species was found to be scarce by Mr. Wallace (Ibis, 1860, p. 142). When 
remarking that three species of Pitta inhabited Celebes, Mr. Wallace (J. c.) was probably 
misled by Bonaparte’s Conspectus, wherein P. miilleri, Bp., is stated to be from Celebes 
instead of Borneo.
