ON ORNITHOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS MADE BY

By ERNST HARTERT. 



BEFOKK .Mr. Everett's first collections from the Eastern Islands arrived at this 

 Museum, it was planned that Mr. Kothschild, who is so keenly interested in 

 the zoology of the E^astern Archipelago, and I should work out the birds together, 

 but unfortunately Mr. Kothschild found himself too much engaged at present with 

 entomology and other work. He therefore entrusted me alone with tin' work ot 

 the collections nirder consideration, which we had i)romised Mr. EX-erett should be 

 studied without much delay. I must here express my thanks to !Mr. Kothscldld 

 for giving this mosl interesting work into my hands, for 1 have hardly ever studied 

 a collection with more interest than these well-prepared skins, collected with .so 

 much skill and love. Besides, although all the responsibility rests with me alone, 

 Mr. Kothschild has compared many of the skins together with me, and given me 

 several useful hints, but his co-operation did not seem important enough to him to 

 attach his name to these articles as a co-author. 



I am also obliged to Hofrath Dr. A. H. Meyer, whose knowledge of Celebes birds 

 is at present unrivalled, for giving me notes on a few species I sent to him for 

 comparison. I gained much important information, besides others, from the recent 

 writings on the birds of Celebes of Messrs. A. B. Meyer & L. W. Wiglesworth, and 

 of Dr. Buttikofer, who too most kindly compared some of my specimens with his 

 types for me. Again, as .so often before, am I further obliged to Messrs. Sharjie and 

 Grant in the British Museum, who enabled me to couqtare with great ease the species 

 I wanted to see in cases where the Tring Museum had not yet sufficient material for 

 comparison. The mixed ornis of the small southern islands necessitated special care, 

 and the comparison of comparatively many descriptions and skins from several regions. 

 Any notes given on the labels have been faithfully inserted in thcs<' pajjers.
