Adult. Above slate-grey, carpal region, upper tail-coverts, and a short crest blacker, secon- 
daries with a subterminal band of blackish, primaries crossed with 4 or 5 bands, 
basally obliterated; scapulars and innermost remiges brown; terminal third of tail 
black, basal part slate-grey, crossed with three nearly obliterated black bars; face, 
throat, and chest grey, paler than on bead; remaining under parts white, passing 
into rufous cinnamon on middle of abdomen, thighs, and under tail-coverts barred 
with brownish grey on breast, sides and abdomen; under wing-coverts whitish, 
rufous cinnamon about the middle (ad. Ceram: Dr. Riedel — Nr. 6743). 
“Iris yellow; cere, mandible, basal half of maxilla light plumbeous; apical half 
of maxilla jet-black; feet white, claws brown” (Everett 10 ). 
Young (just about able to fly). Similar to the adult, but the throat white, with black shaft- 
lines; breast cinnamon, the middle portion of the feathers grey; the bars on the under 
parts brown and somewhat narrower; the feathers of the upper parts browner with 
pale edgings; tail broadly tipped with grey. The crest is already present (juv. Am- 
boina; Dr. Riedel — Nr. 6745). 
Immature (apparently assuming adult plumage). Browner above than the adult described from 
Ceram; throat whitish, chest greyer, under parts stained with rufous cinnamon and 
barred on breast, sides, abdomen, and axillaries with rufous brown (not dark brownish 
grey); the terminal black band on the tail only one-fifth of the entire length (Bone- 
rate, 1895: P. & F. Sara sin.

Distribution. Moluccas — Amboina, Ceram, Buru (cf. Salvad. 5), Papuasia — Waigiou, 
Salawatti, Mysol, Misori, New Guinea, Kei, Aru (cf. Salvad. 5, 7), Timor (Wallace, 
V. Rosenb. 5), Lombok (Everett 10], Djampea Id. (Everett 10), Bonerate Id. 
(P. & E. Sarasin). 
Reinwardt’s Baza has to be included in the Celebesian list in virtue of 
two specimens from Djampea and Bonerate between Celebes and Flores, the 
first collected by Mr. Everett, the other presented to the Messrs. Sarasin when 
in Celebes. The latter specimen is remarkable for the length of its tail and 
the narrowness of the black terminal portion, and for the rufous brown bars of
