Hah Celebes, Menado (^Wallace) ; mountain-districts of North Celebes 

 (^Wallace) ; Sula Islands {Wallace). 



For the opportunity of describing the above specimen I am indebted to 

 Mr. Gould, who received it in exchange from the Leiden Museum. It is 

 marked " ?. Celebes : Duyvenbode, 1866." On comparing it with the Sula- 

 Island skins in the Museum, I can find no differences in plumage ; but the 

 size is rather smaller, the wing measuring 575 to 5-8 inches.
