Iris brown ; tarsus dull green ; bill as in S. chloris. The chin, throat, and centre of abdomen are pure white. Length 21*1 centims. 33. HALCYON COROMANDA (Latham). Callialcyon rufa, Wald. op. cit. p. 44. a. Kema. 34. HALCYON PILEATA, Bodd. a-c. Kema. The authenticity of the occurrence of this species in N. Celebes rests entirely with a native hunter whom we left in that district to collect. I have, however, no reason to doubt it, although personally I did not meet with the bird. Two of the specimens are not quite adult, the feathers on the upper part of the breast being edged with brownish black, giving a maillee appearance. In Mr. Sharpe's monograph no mention is made of the small patch of white feathers on the lower eyelid. 35. CITTURA CYANOTIS (Temminck). Cittura cyanotis, Wald. op. cit. p. 44. a. 8 • Maim Bay, near Likoupang, N. Celebes. b, c. 2 • Menado. d-f. Kema. Iris brown ; bill coral; tarsus dark red ; feet bright red beneath. Native name Bulu bebek. The female birds have the white eyebrow, and appear to be C. sanguirensis of Mr. Sharpe. They are further characterized by having the stripe through the eye black washed with blue, not blue. The wing-coverts also are marked with buff, not being dark indigo as in the male. 36. CEYCOPSIS FALLAX (Schlegel). Ceycopsis fallax, Wald. op. cit. p. 45. a. Sex incert. Wallace Bay, N. Celebes. b. Kema.
