VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES. 87 
Gmelin’s diagnosis of G. ferrugineus was undoubtedly taken from Latham’s sixty-sixth 
plate, which represents the hen of the red Indian Jungle-fowl. But Gmelin first quoted 
Sonnerat’s Grande caille de la chine (It. ii. p. 171), a bird that cannot, by its description, 
be referred to the genus Gallus, and which seems to have been described from an 
example of 7. perlatus,Gm. Latham having erroneously identified Sonnerat’s species 
with his own Hackled Partridge, was copied by Gmelin; hence two distinct birds are 
included under Tetrao ferrugineus, Gm. 
It will be necessary to compare Celebean examples with those from other parts of 
Asia before we can decide to which species they belong.
