34 VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIRDS OE CELEBES. 



Erythrospiza iogastra (S. Muller), Verhandl. Land- en Volkenk. p. 110, "Amboyna" (1839?). 



Accipiter hyogaster, S. Muller, Jacquin. & Pucheran, Voy. Pole Sud. iii. p. 48, "Macassar." 

 Epervier oceanien, Hombron & Jacquin. op. cit. Atlas, pi. 2. fig. 1. 



Jacquinot is our only authority for the occurrence of this species, as identified by 

 Pucheran, in Celebes ; but as his notes relating to localities are not always trustworthy, 

 and as A. iogaster is not given from Celebes by either S. Muller, Professor Schlegel, or 

 Mr. Wallace, I shall not include it in this list. In this instance Jacquinot's authority 

 is doubly untrustworthy ; for he identified A. rufitorgues, Peale, with A. iogaster, and 

 noted the two examples, which he figured (I. c.) as having been obtained in the Viti 

 Islands and at Macassar. It is quite possible that A. iogaster does occur in Celebes ; 

 and it is difficult to determine the A. cruentus, Gould, a/p. Schlegel, M. P.-Bas, Astures, 

 p. 42, male adulte, Celebes, Voy. de Reinwardt, " gorge d'un roussatre uniforme," 

 unless we refer it to A. iogaster. And yet, under Nisus cruentus ( Valkv. Nederl. Ind. 

 p. 61), Professor Schlegel does not allude to this specimen, nor does he give Celebes 

 as a locality for JV. cruentus.

 individual of the above species. Underneath pure white ; thigh-coverts faintly fringed 

 with pale fulvous ; entire head and nape pale fulvous-white ; remaining upper plumage
