TRICHOSTOMA CELEBENSE, Strickland. 
( Front Figure). 
The other specimen which M. Verreaux labelled Napothera um- 
bratilis, is from Celebes, and is very similar to the Borneo species, 
but has the beak considerably narrower and the rictal bristles 
somewhat shorter and less rigid ; the wings and tail are a more 
decided rufous; the breast is faintly tinged with brown; the beak is 
a lighter brown, with the under mandible palest, and the legs are 
plumbeous or brown ; the feet and toes are considerably longer and 
stronger, as will be seen by comparing the measurements of the 
two species. 
Total length, 5.7; beak to front, 6£; to gape, 8; width, 
wmg, 2.7; medial rectrices, 2; external, i.9; tarsus, i; hind toe 
and claw, 6; middle ditto, 8; rictal bristles, 5; first, second, and 
thiid primaries, graduated; fourth, fifth, and sixth, nearly equal, 
but fifth rather longest. — H. E. Strickland.
