Breeding habits. Unrecorded. 
Distribution. Celebes, the islands off the coast, and ? Great Sangi: — Minahassa (Wall. 8 , 
Meyer .9, Guillem. 13 , etc.); Talissi Id. (Guillem. 13 , Hickson); Banka, Lembeh, 
Mantehage and Manado tua (Nat. Coll, in Dresd. Mus.); Togian Is. (Meyer 9); 
Tonkean, E. Celebes (Nat. Coll.); West Celebes (Doherty 22 ); 8. Peninsula: 
Macassar (Wallace 8 , Weber 17 , and others), Tjamba Distr. (Platen 12 ), Maros 
(AVeber 17 ), foot-hills of Bonthain (Everett & Doherty 21 , 22 ); ? Great Sangi 
Island (Meyer 7, 11 , 14 ). 
A single young example is known from Great Sangi. As Dr. Sharpe remarked 
on comparing this with a young bird from Celebes, nothing can he said as to the 
distinctness of the Sangi bird as a .species. It is also recorded by Dr. Lenz as 
having been received from the Sangi Islands through von Bultzingslowen, who 
had brought together a collection with the help of native hunters. 
Remark. There is no appreciable difference between birds of South and North Celebes.
