VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES. 69 
Votyoctvora, Hodgson. 
87. Votvocrvora morio (S. Miiller), Verhandel. Land- en Volkenk. p. 189, “ Celebes”’ 
(1839-44); Hartlaub, J. fiir Orn. 1865, p. 155. (Pl. VIII. fig. 1.) 
Edoliosoma melanolema, G. R. Gray, Hand-list, no. 5099, “ Celebes” (1869). 
Hab, Tondano, Gorontalo (Hartlaub); Macassar (mus. nostr.). 
This and several Indo-Malayan and Papuan species are classed by Dr. Hartlaub (/. c.) 
under Campephaga, Vieillot, the type of that genus being the African Campephaga 
nigra, Vieill. This species, in its turn, Dr. Hartlaub transfers to Lesson’s genus 
Lanicterus. I venture, however, to refer the Celebean bird to Volvocivora, Hodgs., as 
it is nearly allied to the type of that genus, Lanius silens, Tickell (1833), = Ceblepyris 
lugubris, Sundey. (1837), = Volvocivora melaschistos, Hodgs. (1837). 
On examination I find that Edoliosoma melanolema, a title published without descrip- 
tion, refers to S. Miiller’s species; while the EZ. morio, of the Hand-list, no. 5097, appears 
to be ©. fimbriatus, Temm. The British-Museum examples of the last are noted from 
Celebes ; but that locality requires further confirmation. 
LauacE, Boie. 
88. LALAGE LEUCOPYGIALIS, n.s. (Pl. VIII. fig. 2.) 
Hab. Menado (mus. nostr.). 
S. Miller, Hartlaub, O. Finsch, and others have hitherto included Celebes within 
the range of the Lalage of Java, Turdus dominicus, P. L. 8. Miiller, =T7. terat, Bodd., 
=T. orientalis, Gm. 'Two examples of a Lalage, one of an adult male, and the other 
of an adult female, received by me from Menado, are to be readily distinguished from 
the Javan bird by having the lower back and rump pure white, the long upper tail- 
coverts only being grey. In this respect the Celebean Lalage agrees with L. mela- 
noleuca (Blyth) from the Philippines; but that species is without a white supercilium 
(fide Hartl. J. fiir Orn. 1865, p. 163). 
This is probably the ZL. leucopygialis of Mr. Gray's Hand-list ; but as no description 
is given, his title cannot be noticed. 
The Lalage which inhabits South-eastern Borneo differs from the Javan form in its 
longer wing and broader though not longer bill.
