564 Birds of Celebes: Sturnidae. 



Salv., of Sorong and Salawatti, C. gularis Gray, of Mysol, might, we think, be 

 made with a view to ascertaining whether there is not sufficient individual varia- 

 tion among them to bridge-over the differences which are said to separate them 

 from C. metallica and from one another; in other words, whether they are not 

 subspecies, instead of species. 



GENUS ENODES Temm. 



Structurally like Calornis, but the wing shorter. Plumage non-metallic. Tail 

 about as long as the wing, strongly graduated, outermost rectrix about half the 

 length of the middle ones. Legs and feet yellow. A long and broad super- 

 ciliary stripe of decomposed and stiffened feathers, red. 



The genus is peculiar to Celebes.
