Lalage aurea (Temm.), PI. Col. livr. Ixiv. pi. 382. fig. 2, "Timor" (21st December 

 1825); Bp. Consp. i. p. 355; Coll. Delattre, p. 78; Hartlaub, J. fiir Orn. 1865, 

 p. 168. 

 This species is stated to occur in Celebes by Bonaparte and Dr. Hartlaub. Mr. 



Wallace, however, is of opinion that it cannot be considered a Celebean bird. 



Aetamides, Hartlaub. 



89. Aetamides bicolok (Temm.), PL Col. livr. xl\ii. pi. 278, " Sumatra" (!) (June 26, 



1824) ; S. ISIiiller, Verb. Land- en Volk. p. 191, " Celebes ; " G. E. Gray, Hand- 

 list, no. 5091, " Banda, Celebes, Sumatra." 



Hal. Menado {mus. nostr.). 



Salomon Miiller (I. c.) expressly states that this species inhabits Celebes, and neither 

 Sumatra nor Banda. 



DICRUEID^. 



DiCEUEUS, Vieillot. 



90. DiCEUKUS LEiicops, Wallace, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 478, " Celebes." 

 Hab. Macassar, Menado ( Wallace). 



Closely resembles B. pectoralis, Wallace, of the Sula Islands, but is somewhat larger 

 in aU its dimensions. The irides are stated by Mr. Wallace to be invariably milk- 

 white, while in the Sula species and in all others known they are red. 



The type of VieiUot's genus Dicrurus, Corvus balicasshis, L., appears to stand alone ; 

 and it wiU be perhaps necessary to form a separate genus for the reception of all the 

 Austro-Malayan Dicruiidae, whose affinities seem to be with Chilia, Hodgs. 



NECTAEINIID^. 



Nectaeinin^. 



Aeachnotheea, Temminck. 



91. Aeachnothera 1 



AracTinothera longirostra (Lath.), S. Miiller, Verhandel. Zool. Aves, p. 69, ex Celebes. 



I have not had an opportunity of examining an example of the Celebean Arachno- 

 thera, and am therefore unable to determine its correct title. 



Antheeptes, Swainson.
