 Hartert. Novitates Zool. v. p. 111.] 



The late Mr. Everett visited Timor in July 1897, and 

 stayed till September ; but he was not able to explore the 

 mountains of the interior, and his collection was formed 

 within a radius of 12 miles from Atapapu, one of the Dutch 

 settlements, where the steamer calls once a month. Atapapu 

 lies at the mouth of a deep gorge in the coast-hills, a little

 parvula occidentalis, from Lombok and Flores, are designated 

 in the notes. No Pitta was met with, although diligently 

 sought after.
