extent in the broad stiff feathers of the head of Streptocitta , which have a 
decided tendency to form into a ridge- crest upon the forehead. The African 
Lamprotornis, which has a long tail like that of Streptocitta , is really more re- 
mote; this genus has a more lengthened middle toe. 
Streptocitta, with its Sulan ally Ckaritornis, ranks, like Basileornis and Scissi- 
rostrmn, as one of the striking Celebesian types. 
/S'. alUcollis of the South differs from S. torqmta of the North, West and East 
of the island by its bill being tipped with yellow. If they are found to intergrade, 
the two will have to be united as subspecies under the specific name of the 
southern form.

Adult. Like S. alhicoUi^, but the bill entirely black, wing and tail rather shorter, bill a little 
longer (§, Kema, 2. YTII. 93: Sarasin Coll; and 22 others). 
Young. Similar to the adult, but the feathers on the head less long and stiff, their bases 
white; chin and upper throat black, mottled with the white bases of the feathers 
(hlinahassa: Faber — C 3608). 
In some specimens, apparently adult, the white encroaches almost up to the 
elfin (Minahassa: Faber — 0 3609 and 3606).
