From a comparison of these two vonng specimens nothing can be said as to the dislinctness of 

 the Sangi bird as a species. 'j The latter seems to have a longer wing but the measnrements are exceeded 

 by fallv adult Celebean birds in the British Museum.

The Batchian and Halmahera birds are a little larger than the Xevr Guinea examples but as some 

 of the latter attain to the dimensions of the females of the former I do not consider them worthy of specific 

 Separation. 



Young birds of the present species are distinguished by the outer webs of the secondaries being 

 white, the primaries being also margined and tipped with white: the rump and upper taU-coverts are lighter 

 grey, as also are the centre tail-feathers, nearly the whole of the reetrices being also conspieuously white 

 at the ends.
