Not iiiucli is known of the fauna of Saleyer, but lepidopteni have been collected 

 there bj several collectors. Ornithologically it was unexplored until 1889, when 

 Prof. Max Weber obtained there twenty-two specimens of birds, representing fourteen 

 species, from January 13th to 19th. Dr. Biittikofer gave a list of these in Weber's 

 Zoolog. Erjjebnlsse einer Reise in NiederUindisch Ost-Indien. A'ol. III. Tlic species 

 obtained by Prof. Weber were : — 



1. Hcdiartusleucogaster {(im.). 8. Lalage timwienais (MnW.). 



2. AJcedo bewiahnsis Gm. 9. Vhibia lencopfi (\\'all.). 



3. Ilalcijmi cltlorin (]'>o(\d.). 10. Treron griseicanda (iru,y.-t 



4. Sip/da banyimias (Horsf.).* 11. I'l ilopics melanaucfien (i^a.l\&d.). 



5. Pachycephala teysmanni Biittik. 12. Mucropj/giamncKsaarietisix'W'aW. 



6. P. wphea 3-M-d. i;i. E ri/thra phueidcunt (Penw.). 



7. Artamus lencogaster (Valenc). 11. Tutamvs hypoleucos (L.). 



It will be seen from the following article that Jlr. Everett's collections have 

 added a good number of species to the Saleyer list. " Small as the number of species 

 recorded by me from Saleyer may be," says Biittikofer, I.e., " it proves nevertheless, by 

 the presence oi Pachycepludd orphca and Lid(i(/e timorienfiis, that the ornis of this 

 island, which must geographically be looked upon as a continuation of the Southern 

 Peninsula of Celebes, and may also be regarded so ornithologically, represents some 

 relationship with the ornis of the Timor grou|), though not with that of Klores, as 

 one might have expected from the geographical situation." 



Djanipea, Jampea, Tjampeah, or Tana Djampea (the land of Djanipea). is the 

 largest island of the little grouji sometimes called the " Schiedam Islands," and is 

 alx)ut fifteen miles in length. It has a rugged appearance and is mountainous, the 

 hills being covered with high trees, but it terminates to the eastward and northward 

 in low points. There are rivers with good water. No birds, as far as I know, ha\c 

 ever been recorded from Djampea, though a list of lepidoptera from that island has 

 been given by Snellen. 



Kcdao, or Lumbego as it is called by the natives, lies less than ten miles to the 

 south-east from Djampea, and is a narrow mountainous island, thirteen or fourteen 

 miles in length from east to west. Off the east end is BonenUe Island, with a safe 

 channel between. No list of birds from Kalao has ever been given, nor does any one 

 seem to have collected any birds there ; but Messrs. Sarasin visited Bonerate and 

 collected there five species of birds, which were recorded by Messrs. Mevcr & 

 Wiglesworth in Abh. und Ber. Mas. Dresden, No. 1, 1896, p. Hi. They are :— 



1. Artamus leucogaster (\'alenc.). 4. Oriolus bomratensis n. sp. 



2. Cyrtostomii^ sp. 5. Megapodiits duperreyi L. & G. 



3. Zosterops intermedia \\'all. 



The following list will showtlie excellent ornithological work done by INIr. Everett 

 and his men on these islands, and we confidently liope that we shall .soon receive 

 collections from him from other hitherto unexplored or but imperfectly known islands 

 of the Eastern Archipelago.
