44 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIEDS OF CELEBES. 



Sauropatis, Cabanis. 



43. Sauropatis chloris (Bodd.), Tabl. PI. Enl. p. 49 (1783), ex Buff. ; Sharpe, Monogr. 



pt. xii. no. 102. 

 Alcedo collaris, Scopoli, PI. Faun. Insub. ii. p. 90 (1786) , ex Sonn. 



Hab. Macassar (Wallace). 



The geographical distribution of this species will be found fully given by Mr. Sharpe 

 (l.s.c). 



44. Sauropatis sancta (Vig. & Horsf.), Trans. Linn. Soc. xv. p. 206, "New Holland" 



(1825) ; Sharpe, Monogr. p. xii. no. 104. 

 Mr. Sharpe (I. c.) has not included Celebes within the range of this species ; but 

 Mr. Wallace has informed me that he obtained it, as well as S. chloris, at Macassar. 



45. Sauropatis forsteni, Temm. Bp. Consp. i. p. 157, "Celebes" (1850); Schlegel, 



Mus. Pays-Bas, Alcedines, p. 37 ; Schlegel, Vog. Ned. Ind. Ijsvogels, p. 29, pi. 11. 

 f. 1; Sharpe, Monogr. pt. xii. no. 103. 

 Hab. Gorontalo (Forsten). 



The type specimen, an adult female, preserved at Leyden, is the only individual 

 known. In Prince Bonaparte's diagnosis Professor Schlegel (I. c.) substitutes the words 

 " subtus nigrescens" for " subtus alba." Mr. Sharpe informs me that "it is close to 

 H. chloris, of which perhaps it is only an accidental variety." 



Todiramphus funebris (Forsten), Bp. (I. c), is from Gilolo, and not from Celebes, nor 

 has Alcedo diops, Temm., been found there since Temminck described the species. 



Callialcyon, Bonaparte. 



46. Callialcyojst rufa (Wallace), P. Z. S. 1862, p. 338, "Sula Islands and Celebes." 

 Halcyon coromanda (Lath., pt.), Sharpe, Monogr. pt. ix. no. 69. 



Hab. Celebes, Sula Islands ( Wallace) ; Macassar ( Wallace). 



The Celebean Callialcyon is the largest and most brilliantly coloured of the group. 



In both these respects it differs ; and I therefore do not hesitate to retain Mr. Wallace's 



title. 



Cittura, Reichenbach. 



47. Cittura cyanotis (Temm.), Nouv. Eec. livr. xliv. pi. 262, "Sumatra" (!), errore 



(March 27, 1824); Sharpe, Monogr. pt. ii. no. 10, "Celebes;" Wallace, Ibis, 

 1860, p. 142. 

 Hab. Kema (Forsten) ; Celebes ( Wallace) ; Menado (mus. nostr.). 

 The true habitat of this species was made known by Professor Schlegel some seven 

 years ago (Mus. Pays-Bas) ; and to Mr. Wallace we owe not only a confirmation of the 

 fact, but interesting notes on the habits of the bird. It is not improbable that the 

 differences whereon Mr. Sharpe founded his C. sanghirensis will prove to be common to 

 the Celebean bird in certain phases of plumage.
