Birds of Celebes: Campophagidae. 
There is now a fine series of 19 specimens of the Talaut form in the Dresden 
Museum, showing every dress and transition. The females approach E. morio 
in the coloration of the under parts. 
* 162. EDOLIISOMA EMANCIPATA Hart. 
Djampea Slaty Cuckoo-shrike. 
Edoliisoma emaneipata (1) Hart., Nov. Zool. 1896, 170. 
Adult male. Much larger than E. iiwrio of. Celebes, paler slaty, and without the black cheeks 
and tluoat, the lores and ear-coverts black, the latter with a bronze gloss ((J', Djampea 
Id., Dec. 1S95: Everett — 0 14862). 
Wing 132 — -138 mm; tail 113; culmen 25 — 26 (hill from nostril c. 17); width of 
bill at nostrils 9; tarsus 23 (Hartert). 
Female (immature). Under parts wliitish washed with cinnamon-buff, paler than in E. morio 
and crossed with narrower brace-shaj)ed bars of dusky; crissum and under tail-coverts 
cinnamon-buff clear of bars; above slaty grey, washed with olive on the back, the 
feathers of the rump with dusky subterminal bars and buff tips; wing-covei’ts and 
quills edged with cinnamon-buff, beconnng whitish on the inner feathers; tail black, 
tipped with cinnamon-wliite, broadest on the outermost feathers, the middle pair 
brownish slate-grey with a black spot at the tip ($, Djampea, Everett — 0 14863). 
The female is above light slaty grey, no fawn-coloured superciliary streak; ear- 
coverts light slaty grey, streaked with white; a slight brownish wash on the rump; 
wing 129—132 mm; “iris chocolate-brown; bill jet-black; legs, feet, and claws greyish 
black” — Ev. (Hartert). 
Distribution. Djampea Island, between South Celebes and Elores (Everett). 
This new species is compared by Mr. Hartert with E. amboitmise, which 
differs in the female in being ashy brown above and in having a fawn-coloured 
superciliary streak, while the male of that species is harder to distinguish, but 
the wing seems to be slightly shorter and the grey edges on the wing-coverts 
and secondaries narrower. The male of E. emaneipata is also hardly to be dis- 
tinguished from the males of E. salvadorii and of E. talautense, except by its 
larger size and slightly paler slaty hue; the female is much more narrowly 
barred below and has a brownish tint on the rump not seen in adult females of 
those species.
