VISCOUjST WALDEN on the birds of CELEBES. 43 



COEACIID^. 



CoEAciAS, Linnaeus. 



40. CoBACiAS TEMMiNCKii (Vieillot), N. Diet. Sc. Nat. xxix. p. 435, "I'lnde" (1819), ex 



LevaiUant, Hist. Nat. Promer. & Guep. iii. Suppl. p. 46, pi. G ; Schlegel, Mus. 

 Pays-Bas, Coraces, p. 138; Wallace, Malay Archipel. i. p. 337. 

 Coracias papuensis, Quoy et Gaimard, Voy. de FAstrol. Zool. p. 220, pi. 16, " Dorey," errore (1830). 

 Hab. Kema, (Forsten) ; Gorontalo, Modelido ( Fo» -BosewSery) ; Menado {nms. nostr.) ; 

 Macassar (Wallace). 



In the ' Hand-list,' no. 899, Mr. G. E. Gray extends the range of this species to the 

 vSula Islands. Mr. Wallace is unable to confirm this statement, but writes to me that it 

 is probable. I have failed in finding any confirmation among the Dutch writers. 



EuRYSTOMUS, Vieillot. 



41. EuRTSTOMUS ORiENTALis (Linn.), S. N. ed. 12, i. p. 159, ex Briss. ; Schlegel, Mus. 



Pays-Bas, Coraces, p. 139. 

 Eurystomus pacificus (Lath.), ap. Wallace, P. Z. S. 1862, p. 339. 



Hob. Limbotto, Gorontalo, Bongka, Ayer-pannas, Bone ( Von Rosenberg) ; Menado 

 [mus. iiostr.) ; Indian region. 



The Eurystomus of Celebes belongs to the Asiatic and not to the Australian type, 

 E. pacificus (Lath.). It is not to be distinguished from Ceylon and Indian examples. 



ALCEDINID^. 



Dacelonin^. 

 MoNACHALCTON, Keichenbach. 



42. MoNACHALCYON PRINCEPS (Forsten), Mus. Lugd. ; Bp. Consp. i. p. 154, " Celebes," 



adult; Schlegel, Vog. Ned. Ind. Ijsvogels, pi. 7. f 1, 2, 3. 



Dacelo cyanocephalus, Forsten, Mus. Lugd. 



monachvs, Temm. Mus. Lugd. 



Monachalcyon monachus, Sharpe, Mon. Alcedinidae, pt. xi. no. 87. 



Hab. Kema, Menado {Forsten). 



Mr. Sharpe, in his excellent Monograph, has adopted the specific title of 7nonachus, 

 given by Temminck to the very young bird. I have preferred, in the absence of any 

 recognized rule in such a case, to use the title bestowed by Forsten on the fully adult 

 bird. 



Ceram and Ternate are cited by MJr. G. R. Gray (Hand-list, no. 1068) as additional 

 habitats of this remarkable species ; it appears, however, to be a purely Celebean bird.
