bear, however, no exact locality and date and were often mixed up with birds from other 

 parts of the East Indian Archipelago. He appears to have been induced to collect birds 

 from the visit of Mr. Wallace to the Minahassa in the year 1859. EtidrejMnis duirenbodei 

 from Sangi was named after him. 



1863. Rosenberg (Karl Benjamin Hermann von) 1817—1888. German. Lived, with 

 an interval of two years, from 1840 — 1871 in the East Indian Archipelago, first as soldier, 

 then draughtsman, next in the Civil Service, finally as naturalist to the government. He 

 travelled in North and Central Celebes, from April 18G3 to August 1S64 and wrote concerning 

 it: "Reistochten in de Afdeeling Gorontalo" (Amst. 1865), containing a few ornithological 

 notes; the chapters on Celebes in his "Malayischen Arehipel" Leipsic 1S78 — 1S79) with 

 more extensive remarks on the Avifauna (p. 270—279); and "Ein Jiiger-Eldorado" (Zool. 

 Garten 1881, 164). His determinations are, however, not throughout trustworthy, as he was 

 more of a sportsman than of a naturalist. He also sent some hunters to the Sangi Islands 

 in the year 1864. During his long stay in the Archipelago he made extensive ornithological 

 collections, which now are in Darmstadt fsee : Abh. Natw. Ver. Bremen, 1876, V, 35), Leyden 

 (see SchlegeTs Catalogues, etc.j and in some other Museums (e. g. Liibeck, see: J. f. 0. 

 1877, 359; Dresden through von Schierbrandi. 8trix rosenhergi and Gymnocrex rosenbergi 

 from Celebes were named after him. 



1864. Bernstein (Heinrich Agathon) 1S28— 1865. German. Naturalist. Sojourned 

 in the East Indian Achipelago from 1S55 — 1S65, from 1860 onwards as naturalist to the 

 Government, and died near New Guinea. His extensive ornithological collections are in the 

 Leyden Museum. Though he did not visit the Celebesian Area personally, except for a short 

 stay at Macassar, he sent some of his native collectors to the Sula Islands in the year 1864 

 (see Schlegel's Catalogues, etc.). Bernstein's admirable ornithological papers do not concern 

 Celebes directly. Van Musschenbroek published the diary of his last voyage to New Guinea 

 (1364 — 1865) in the Bijdr. taal-, land- en volkenk. Ned. Ind. (4) VH, 1, 1883, containing much 

 valuable information as to this lamented naturalist. Mrgapodlus bernsfcini from Sula was 

 named after him. 



1864. Hoedt (Dirk Samuel). Dutchman (half-caste of Amboina); secretary to the 

 government; a passionate amateur natm-alist; was nominated successor to Bernstein. He 

 collected on Sula Besi and Sula Mangoli (1864) and on Great Sangi and Siao (1865) and 

 forwarded his ornithological collections to the Leyden Museum ^see: Schlegel's Catalogues, 

 etc.). He died some time after 1879, but we have not been able to ascertain the year. 



1865. Bickmore ^Albert S.). Born 1839. American. Naturalist. In the East Indian 

 Archipelago from 1865 — 1866 (see: Travels in the East Indian Archipelago, London 1868, 

 transl. into German. 1869, and Dutch, 1873) and sojourned a short time in South Celebes 

 (June 1S65) and in North Celebes (December 1865 till January 1866). He published a hst 

 of birds collected there in the Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist, as he remarks in his book, but 

 we have not been able to find it in this Journal nor elsewhere. His ornithological collections 

 will be in an American Museum. He now is Curator of the department of PubHc Instruction 

 in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. 



1870. Meyer (Adolf Bernhard). Born 1840. German. Naturahst. Travelled fi-om 

 1870 — 1873 in the East Indian Archipelago, ha\'ing been induced to go out to this part of 

 the globe in the hope that its innumerable islands would afford the possibility of studying the 

 variation of species in the Darwinian sense, for the publication of the "Origin of Species"
