Birds of Celebes: Zosteropidae. 
chief differences appear to be the more elongated nasal aperture and more 
delicate bill, the periocular ring of black, and the larger size. Z. sqmmiceps 
seems to us to lie about midway betn^een this form and the typical Zosterops, 
so that, if the genus Chlorockaris be allowed to stand, it becomes very difficult 
to say to which genus Everett’s new White-eye should be I'eferred.

Figure and descriptions. Walden HI', Wallace 7; Hartlaub 2; Salvador! 6; Sharpe S. 
Male. Above yellow olivc-gi’een, yellowest on head and tail-coverts ; bastard-wing, quills 
and tail-feathers dusky hrowm, the quills edged with the colour of the back but 
yellower, greyish towards the distal ends of the primaries; lores and forehead 
next base of bill yellow; orbital ring white; below this a suborbital streak 
blackish; chin and throat lemon-yellow; remaining under-parts less pure yellow, 
washed on sides of breast, sides and flanks with olive ; thighs sulphur-yellow; under 
wing-coverts straw-yellow, metacarpal edge darker, inner edges of quills 
below yellowish white Macassar, Jan. 1873: Meyer — C 453). 
Bill grey, bluish below; feet and claws greyish blue (M. 5); Iris olive-brown or 
sepia (Wallace 1, P.&F. S., etc). 
Female. An adult female (2, Macassar, Jan. 1873 — 0 493) is like the specimen described, 
but yellower olive-green above, the yellow on the lores and forehead a little more 
extended, the chin and throat similar lemon-yellow, the other under-parts purer 
sulphur-yeUow than in the first. It is possible that that specimen and another nearly 
similar male in the Dresden Museum (C 452) are not quite fidly adult. 
Young. Like the adult, but darker above, greyish in tint on the hind neck; chin, throat 
and abdomen and under tail -coverts pale sulphur-yellow, the sides pale olive-grey, 
yellower on the flanks (2 juv. Macassar, Jan. 1873: Meyer — 0 451).
