Dr. Steer e (c 8) obtained the species in Mindanao in October or December. 
The apparent absence from South Celebes, though many specimens have 
been obtained in the north during onr winter, is also indicative of migration. 
GENUS SPILOSPIZIAS Salvad. 
A small weak-winged Hawk, peculiar to Celebes, and easily recognisable 
there by the three rows of large, round spots of white on the tail. Point of 
wing very blunt, the and 6*^’' primaries only about 4 mm shorter than the 
4*^^ and 5*^, the secondaries relatively long, the distance from the carpus to the 
tip of the inner ones being about five-sixths the length of the wing; tail 
rounded and slightly decurved; tomia with a large festoon; cere small, 
short, and dark in colour; toes much as in Tach^spizias, but the anterior 
claws blunter and straighter; food unknown. Only one species, evidently strictly 
stationary, as it differs racially in North and South Celebes.

White-spot Hawk. 
Plate I. 
It is not surprising to find that this weak-winged Celebesian Hawk differs 
racially to some extent in the Northern and the Southern Peninsulas of the 
island. The two races are: 
1. The typical Spilospizias trinotatus.
