which is said by Mr. Styan (Ibis 1891, p. 358) to interbreed freely with 
C. neglecta Schl. Gazzola typica is easily distinguishable from C. dauncus by its 
large bill. The genus is peculiar to Celebes, but cannot be regarded as equal 
in interest to Streptocitta, Sdssirostrum, and some others. Only six examples 
had been recorded prior to the recent visits of the Messrs. Sarasin, Everett 
and Doherty. 
FAMILY ORIOLIDAE. 
The true Orioles may generally be recognised by their yellow coloration. 
The bill is as long or longer than the cranium, notched and with a hooked 
tip; the nostril exposed, large, with a membrane above it. Ten remiges, the 
first as long as the secondaries, or less. Twelve rectrices. The young of the 
bright-coloured species are streaked below. A few forms wear a more simple, 
streaked plumage when adult. The Orioles look as if their affinities were with 
the Paradiseidae and the Meliphagidae, two groups which are not usually regarded 
as related to one another. 
GENUS ORIOLUS L. 
Description as for the family. Dr. Sharpe (Cat. B. 1877, III, 188) includes in 
the family of the Orioles also the genus Sphecotheres, distinguishable by having 
the periocular region naked. 'Ihe Orioles are found in Europe, Africa, and 
Asia to Australia. 
* 246. ORIOLUS OELEBENSIS (Tweedd.). 
Celebes Oriole. 
This variable Oriole differs racially in the Northern and Southern Penin- 
sulas of Celebes. We take it that the species was described from North Cele- 
besian examples, which represent, therefore, the typical race.
