VISCOUNT WALDEN ON THE BIEDS OF CELEBES. 87 



Gmelin's diagnosis of G. ferrugineus was undoubtedly taken from Latham's sixty-sixth 

 plate, which represents the hen of the red Indian Jungle-fowl. But Gmelin first quoted 

 Sonnerat's Grande cattle de la chine (It. ii. p. 171), a bird that cannot, by its description, 

 be referred to the genus Gallus, and which seems to have been described from an 

 example of T. perlatus, Gm. Latham having erroneously identified Sonnerat's species 

 with his own Hackled Partridge, was copied by Gmelin ; hence two distinct birds are 

 included under Tetrao ferrugineus, Gm. 



It will be necessary to compare Celebean examples with those from other parts of 

 Asia before we can decide to which species they belong.
