 SAMAO AND TIMOR 



J, BUTTIKOPER. 



Last month the Leydeu Museum received a small num- 

 ber of birds, presented by Dr. H. ten Kate, who had 

 collected them during his recent voyage through the above 

 mentioned islands. Though most of the 29 species are already 

 mentioned in the list given by Wallace, P. Z. S. 1863, 

 p. 484, I do not hesitate to give an enumeration of ten 

 Kate's collection , the more as it has given me the chance 

 of describing a new species of Tropidorhynchus , years ago 

 discovered by Forsten and sent over since by Mr. van 

 Lansberge, Prof. Max Weber and now contained in ten 

 Kate's recent collection. 



1. Collocalia spec. ? 

 Two nestlings from Samao. 



2. Merops ornatus , Lath. 

 One specimen from Samao. 



3. Anthus rufulus , Vieill.
