NOTE XXXII. 



ON A COLLECTION OF BIRDS FROM THE ISLANDS 

 OF FLORES, SUMBA AND ROTTI 



J. BÜTTIKOFER. 



Dr. H. ten Kate , to whom we are already indepted for 

 previous zoological collections made on his recent travels 

 through the Flores- and Timor-group of Islands ') , sent , 

 in September and November last, a number of birds from 

 Flores , Sumba (Sandelwood) and Rotti , the latter being 

 a small island near the western end of Timor. Unfortuna- 

 tely the birds, a great number of which were preserved in 

 alcohol, are all destitute of any annotations as to date 

 and color of soft and naked parts , but the localities being 

 very interesting, I venture to give a list of the birds 

 collected on the different islands.
