BIRDS FROM WESTERN JAVA AND KRAKATAU, 105 
NOTE XI. 
LIST OF A COLLECTION OF BIRDS FROM WESTERN 
JAVA AND FROM KRAKATAU 
BY 
Dr. E. D. VAN OORT. 
The collection of birds, of which the following lines 
contain an enumeration of the species, has been brought 
together by Mr. Edward Jacobson. It is a fine collection 
of about 800 well-prepared and exactly labelled skins, a 
few of which are collected by Mr. Jacobson himself, by 
far the larger part however by native hunters under his 
direct supervision. The birds are collected at various parts 
of the residence Batavia and of the former residence Kra- 
wang, on Goenoeng Karang in the residence Bantam, near 
Palaboean Ratoe at the Wijnkoopsbaai in the residence 
Preanger Regentschappen and on the island Krakatau in 
the straits of Soenda. To the last-named island Mr. Ja- 
cobson paid a short visit on occasion of the surveying of 
the group of Krakatau in May 1908. An interesting ac- 
count on the new fauna of this group of islands has been 
published by him in „Jaarverslag van den Topographischen 
dienst in Ned.-I[ndie over 1908”, for which paper I provided 
him with a list of the birds collected there. 
Among the collection from Java there was one form, a 
Gerygone, which belonged to an undescribed one and which 
I had the pleasure to name after Mr. Jacobson; the study 
of other specimens has in some cases required necessary 
changes in the nomenclature. 
For the native names and for some biological notes 
Mr. Jacobson is responsible.
