104 Recently published Ornithological Works. 



Satonda, never previously visited by a naturalist, lies three 

 miles off tlie coast of Northern Sambawa. Mr. Doheity 

 obtained examples of 14 species in this island. 



Lastly, Mr. Doherty went to Sumba, formerly known as 

 Sandalwood Island, of which little-known land extracts from 

 his letters and papers given in the present article contain 

 many interesting particulars. Sumba, being outside the 

 long chain of islands extending from Java eastward, is of 

 special zoo-geographical importance, and Mr. Doherty's col- 

 lection adds materially to our knowledge of its avifauna. 



Mr. Hartert refers his specimens to 63 species, among 

 ■which the following are now described as new : — Cinnyris 

 buettikoferi, EdoUosoma dohertyi, and Rhipidura celebensis 

 sumbensis, besides 3 new species already characterized in the 

 Bulletin of the B.O.C. (see Ibis, 1896, pp. 566, 567). Here 

 also was ascertained to be the patria of the long-lost Eclectus 

 Cornelia, and the unknown male was discovered. 



This memoir, which is illustrated by two excellent plates 

 representing Pericrocutus lansbergi, Geocichla dohertyi, and 

 Ptilinopus dohertyi, makes a most valuable addition to our 

 knowledge of the avifauna of the Sunda Islands. 



8. Hartert on Birds from Lombok. 



[List of a Collection of Birds made in Lombok by Mr. Alfred Everett. 

 By Ernst Hartert. Novitates Zool. iii. p. 591.] 



The birds collected in Northern Lombok by Mr, A. Everett 

 from May to the beginning of July 1896 are described iu 

 this paper, which also gives Mr. Everett's excellent notes on 

 the island generally, and on the individual birds. Examples 

 of 103 species were obtained, amongst which were many new 

 to the avifauna of the island. 



Although some zoologists have lately denied the importance 

 of Wallace's Line, Mr. Hartert, judging from the collections 

 recently made by Mr. Doherty and Mr. Everett, has come to 

 the conclusion that the " differences between the Ornises of 

 Bali and Lombok are remarkably conspicuous, and indeed 

 much more so than those between the Ornises of Lombok 

 and Sambawa or Sambawa, Flores, and Sumba."
