86 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES. 
Mr. Wallace (J. c.) has separated the New Guinea, Waigiou, and Mysol race from that 
inhabiting Celebes, and conferred on it the title of Ch. hombroni. But as the type of 
Ch. stephani was obtained in New Guinea, if the two races are distinct, the Celebean, 
and not the New-Guinea bird requires a new title. 
131. Cuaucopnars rypica (Linn.), Syst. Nat. 12, i. p. 284 (1766), ex Edwards, pl. 14; 
Schlegel, Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk. 1866, p. 267. 
Only two species of this subgenus are recognized by Professor Schlegel :—first, 
Ch. stephani, as restricted above; secondly, all the remaining races of Asia, its islands, 
Australia, New Caledonia, and the islands of the Gilolo and Ceram groups. Members 
of this second species are stated by the Professor (/. ¢.) to also inhabit Celebes and New 
Guinea, but to be exceedingly rare in those two localities. Mr. Wallace does not 
appear to have met with it in either country. 
GEOPELIA, Swainson. 
132. Gropenia srRrATA (Linn.), Syst. Nat. ed. 12, i. p. 282 (1766), “India orientali” 
(1766), ex Brisson. 
Hab. Macassar (Wallace) ; Java (Sparrman) ; Queda (Sonnerat) ; Lombock (Wallace) ; 
Philippines (Von Martens). 
I include this species on the authority of Mr. Wallace. 
Catanas, G. R. Gray. 
133. Cat@nas nicoparica (Linn.), Syst. Nat. ed. 12, i. p. 283, “insula Nicombar” 
(1766), ex Albin, pl. 47; Wallace, Ibis, 1865, p. 400; Von Pelzeln, Reise der 
Novara, Vogel, p. 110. 
Hab. Malacca and Singapore, Celebes, Batchian, New Guinea (Wallace); Treis 
Island, Nicobars (Von Pelzeln). 
This species is given from Celebes by Mr. Wallace in his table of distribution (J. ¢.); 
but it is to be inferred, from the interesting account given by the same author of its 
range and habits (Malay Archip. ii. p. 65), that the Nicobar Pigeon is not found on 
the main island. 
GALLIN &. 
PHASIANID. 
Gaius, Linneeus.

Hab. Sava (type); Macassar (Wallace). 
Mr. Wallace has informed me that this species occurs in Celebes.
