There can be no doubt that there are many more species 

 to be discovered on the Togian Islands ; but there can be also 

 no doubt that its avifauna will prove to keep the thoroughly 

 Celebean character vrhich the above list indicates. Nevertheless 

 the avifauna of an island^ or island-group, being isolated more 

 or less from a neighbouring mainland, is interesting, whether 

 it offers differences from the avifauna of the mainland or not, 

 because it will permit of conclusions to be drawn as to the mi- 

 gration of birds, as to the former connexion of the two areas or 

 their independence of one another, and so on. Among the 

 fifty-eight species which I collected on the Togian Islands, only 

 two prove to differ from the Celebean forms, viz. Loriculus 

 quadricolor, a deviation from L. stigmatus, and Carpophaga 

 pulchella, which represents C.paulina. One species, Criniger 

 aureus, is not yet known from Celebes, and perhaps remains 

 still to be discovered there ; for I do not doubt that many 

 more species will still be discovered on Celebes. Loriculus
