Everett 12, Doherty 13). 
'Ihe little black-and-white Crow of Celebes is a well marked species, confined 
so far as is yet known to the South of the island, where few examples have been 
collected, but it is said by Mr. Doherty to be common enough north of Macas- 
sar and on Bonthain Peak. The confusion in regard to its history — fr having 
been originally said to have come from Nevv Caledonia, and it was identified with 
Corvus (Graucalus) caledonims (Gm.) by Bonaparte has been put straight by 
Dr. Sclater (4) and 1-ord Walden (8). Where Bonaparte’s type came from 
must be a matter of conjecture, but, as it was, like Streptocitta albicoUis, said to 
have been a New Caledonian bird, it is possible that it was obtained at the 
same time and place as that species, viz. in the island of Buton or of Muna 
by the naturalists accompanying D entrecasteaux. 
The genus Gazzola is hardly to be separated from Corvus. The first pri- 
mary is shortened, being about 20 mm shorter than the secondaries; the second 
is also shortened, reaching of the distance between the end of the first pri- 
mary and the tip of the wing; the fourth quill is longest. The bill is large 
and slightly bloated in appearance, much resembling that of Corvus ewca, but 
not slightly compressed at the sides in its terminal third. In plumage it is 
very like Corvus dauricus Pall, of E. Siberia, China and Japan, a Jackdaw
