400 Birds of Celebes: Laniidae. 



had only a young male from Burn before him, Mr. Wallace's (2) geographical 

 limitation should be accepted: namely P. clio, Sula and Buru (though it must still 

 be ascertained whether they do not really differ); P. macrorhyncha, Amboina 

 and Ceram. P. obiensis is from the Obi-group, and P. inelannra from Australia, 

 New Guinea and New Britain. Adults of the last species may be distinguished 

 by their olive-yellow upper tail-coverts, black in the other three ; while P. clio 

 itself may be distinguished by having the black pectoral collar joined to the 

 ear-coverts (7). 



P. everetti Hart, of Djampea differs in the male by its black wings, broader 

 black -jugular collar, with the yellow below it much darker and less pure; the 

 female has much more grey in its plumage. 



A specimen of P. clio in the British jMuseum from the Gould collection 

 is labelled "Celebes". Dr. Sharp e (7) considers this to be erroneous.

Paehycephala everetti (1) Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1896, 170. 



Adult male. Differs from the adult male of S. clio by having the wing-coverts and remiges 

 black, a narrow edging of gi-ey on the primaries only; the jugular collar broader, 

 broadest mesially, the yellow below this darker, with a tinge of ochi-aceous in it; a 

 band of yellow across the rump; the middles of the feathers of the upper parts black, 

 seen to some extent (cf, Djampea Id., Dec. ISO-J: Everett — C 14S66). 



In some specimens, believed by Hartert to be very old individuals, the black 

 in the feathers of the upper surface is absent (1). 



"L'is crimson-lake; bill jet-black; legs plumbeous or plumbeous- blue-grey; claws 

 darker gi-ey or brown" (Ev.). 



Female. Differs fi-om the female of P. clio in having the head j^aler grey olive; the back 

 and mantle olivaceous, washed with grey; the feathers of the riunp terminally light 

 yellowish, forming a band, below salmon-colour, washed with brown on the breast, 

 whitish on throat, deejj yellow on under tail-coverts ($, Djampea, Dec. 1895: Ev. — 

 14867). 



Measurements. "Wing 80 mm; tail (54 — 60; culmen 19 (bill from nostril 12); tarsus 23 fHartertj. 



Distribution. Djampea Island between Flores and Celebes (Everett 1). 



This species was found by Mr. Everett on Djampea, where it is common. 

 It seems to stand extremely near P. fulvotincta Wall, of Flores, the chief differ- 

 ence pointed out by Hartert being that the latter bird has not so much orange 

 on the breast. Compared with P. clio, it might be described as a melanotic 

 form. The difference between the two species is about as great as that seen 

 in the Orioles, O. formosiis of Sangi, and the melanotic O. melanisticns of Talaut; 

 moreover the black of the head, the greenish yellow-olive of tlie upper parts, 

 and the rich yellow of the under parts are curiously of the same tint in these 

 ■two very different genera.
