VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OF CELEBES. 95 
Professor Schlegel (/. c.) has identified Eyton’s species with P. cinereus, Vieill.: and 
Drs. Finsch & Hartlaub (/. ¢.) with R. quadristrigatus, Horsf. ‘The species, however, 
is not included in Dr. Jerdon’s work as an inhabitant of India.

“Celebes,” pl. 24. f. 2; Schlegel, Mus. Pays-Bas, Ralli, p. 22. 
Hab. Menado (Forsten); Gorontalo, Limbotto (Von Rosenberg). 
This is a representative form of the Philippine Rallus torquatus, Linn. (Schlegel, 
l.c.). Von Pelzeln (Novara, Aves, p. 134), with doubt, refers an example of a young 
Rail from Borneo to the Celebean species.

Rallus gularis, Horsf. Trans. Linn. Soe. xiii. p. 196, “ Java” (1822).

Java (Horsfield); Cochin-china (Diard); Formosa (Swinhoe); China (Mus. Lugd.); 
Menado (Wallace); Banjarmassing (Sclater). 
Mr. Wallace obtained near Menado a female example of a Rail which so well agrees 
with Brisson’s description of the Philippine bird, that I have little hesitation in making 
the above identification. It must, however, be noted that, in the specimen referred to, 
the under tail-coverts are distinctly pale rufous and black, and not white and black.

Rallus pectoralis (Cuvier), Lesson, ap. Finsch et Hartl. Faun. Centralpolyn. p. 157, nee Cuv. ; 
conf. Pucheran, Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1851, p. 276. 
Hab. Macassar (mus. nostr.); Tondano, in September (Morsten); Gorontalo, April 
17, 24, May; a chick newly hatched, August 4 (Von Rosenberg); Australia (Gould) ; 
New Caledonia (Verreaua et O. des Murs); Philippines (type). 
The Celebean bird has the nape rusty as in Australian individuals. In the event of 
the Philippine species proving distinct, the birds from the other localities above given 
will require a different title. Messrs. Finsch & Hartlaub (/. ¢.) have adopted Cuvier’s 
title of pectoralis, copied by Lesson (‘Tr. p. 536), for this species, although Dr. Pucheran 
(/.¢.) had shown that the type of &. pectoralis, Cuv., was R. lewinii, Swains. (conf. 
Hartl. J. fiir Orn. 1855, p. 420).
