414 Ant. Reichenow und Herman Schalow: 
In P. celebensis all the upper wing-coverts are of a brown 
color, much less inelining to black than in the case in our new 
species, and this remark equally applies to all the dark transverse 
markings of the under surface, whilst the intervening light bars 
are pure white throughout, whereas in the Sumatran and Malay 
birds these bars are tinged with fulvous everywhere except upon 
the breast. 
P. celebensis appears to be, on the average of speeimens, 
slightly smaller than the new Sumatran and Malay species, its 
wing measurements, so far as 7 have observed, varying from 14: 
to 15,5 inches. 
Hab.: Sumatra, Malay Peninsula.

Tail feathers nearly uniform nlamiiheuten with but very faint 
indications of any cross markings. Distincetly perceptible alternate 
transverse bars of two shades of vinous brown, a darker and & 
paler, on the flanks, breast, abdomen, tibiae, and under tailcoverts; 
the vinous colour of the underparts being more intense in U. Dampiert 
than in D. griseigularis; with no traces of cinereous transverse 
markings on the throat. Iris brown, feet orange, bill black yellow 
at base. Wing 9,15; tars. 2,50; middle toe 1,60 inches. 
Hab.: New Britain.

Neben einer längeren Beschreibung wird folgende kurze Cha- 
rakteristik gegeben: „Legs entirely immaculate; lower parts without 
trace of transverse bars; first primary much shorter than second. 
Dorsal region nearly uniform dark brown; outer webs of primaries 
with the ochraceous spaces scarcely or not at all more extensive 
than the brown ones on the basal portion of the re Wing 
11,25—12,00. 
Hab.: Porto Rico.“ 
Die nahe stehende A. aceipirinus wird hingegen folgender- 
massen charackterisirt: ‚‚Dorsal region conspicuously striped with 
oehraceous; outer webs of primaries with ochraceous largely pre- 
vailing toward the base. Wing usually more than 12,00 inches,“ 
und A. galopagoensis: „Legs marked with narrow dusky streaks: 
lower parts with a greater or less number of transverse bars; first 
primary scarcely shorter than the second.“
