142. ASararires Peroni (Temm.), Schlegel, Mus. Pays-Bas, Cursores, p. 33, “VArchipel 
Indien” (March 1865); Swinhoe, P. Z.S. 1870, p. 139. (Pl. X. fig. 2.) 
Hab. Borneo, Java, Semao (Schlegel) ; Macassar (Wallace). 
An example of this species in summer plumage was obtained by Mr. Wallace in 
Celebes. Mr. Swinhoe, who has also examined this individual, agrees with me in 
identifying it as above. It belongs to the subsection of which 4. cantianus may be 
regarded as the type. As it is a rare species, I append the following description :— 
Forehead, from the base of the bill, pure white; a broad white superciliary stripe, 
confluent with the white forehead, terminates above the black ear-coverts; narrow 
frontal band, lores, ear-coverts, and a broad band crossing the back and reaching to the 
sides black ; a black pectoral stripe, continued from the black sides, is narrowed into a 
thin line on the breast, where it does not quite meet ; this excepted, the entire under 
surface, cheeks, under wing-coverts, and a broad nuchal collar pure white. Upper 
plumage pale earthy brown, most of the feathers with albescent edgings, conspicuous 
on the wing-coyerts, some of which are edged with a purer white; primaries reddish 
brown; secondaries paler brown, broadly margined on the inner webs, and tipped with 
white, more or less cinereous; all the shafts white; three outer pairs of rectrices pure 
white; the next pair pale brown, much mixed with white (the rest of the rectrices are 
absent in this example); bill jet-black, no trace of any other colour; legs, in dried 
skin, pale yellow brown. Wing 33, bill from forehead $, tarsus 1, tail 14. 
The frontal white patch is broad, more so than in European examples of 4. hiaticula. 
In proportion the black frontal band is narrow, and is not posteriorly edged with white. 
? First primaries wanting.
