Birds of Celebes: Sturnidae. 
Salv,, of Sorong and Salawatti, C. gularis Gray, of Mysol, might, we think, be 
made with a view to ascertaining whether there is not sufficient individual varia- 
tion among them to bridge-over the differences which are said to separate them 
from (7. metalUca and from one another; in other words, whether they are not 
subspecies, instead of species. 
GENUS ENODES Temm.

about as long as the wing, strongly graduated, outermost rectrix about half the 
length of the middle ones. Legs and feet yellow. A long and broad super-
