“Maleo”, Malay, N. Celebes, Reinwardt a 2, Wallace d 4, v. Rosenb. 21, Hickson 32. 
“Moleo”, Meyer 22, Joest, Das Holontalo 1883, 105, Nat. Coll. 
“Mumunga”, Tondano neighbourhood, Meyer 22 (cf. Mamunga in Tagulandang, Hicks. 32]. 
“Sankawor”, IVPnahassa, Nat. Coll. 
“Moleo besar” (= Great Moleo), Lembeh, iid. 
Remark. The name Maleo or Moleo is used as well for 31. eumingi, this one being the Little 
Moleo, Moleo Idtjil. Rosenberg gives the name of 31. fregeineti in Ternate as 
“Maleo” (Sal vad., O. P. Ill, 231 ). In the New Hebrides one of the names of 31. layardi 
is “Malou”, according to Layard; and the geographically isolated 31. 2}ritchardi of 
Niuafou in Polynesia is called “Mallow” or “Malau”. Lipoa oceUata of Australia, 
according to Newton (36) is commonly known in England as the “Mallee-Bird . In 
New Caledonia the expression for birdjis mali, and “man” is found all over the 
South Seas for “bird”, therefore in the word maleo or moleo the root inal == man 
is no doubt contained.
