the birds of North Celebes (Nat. Tijdschr. Ned. Ind. 1877, XXXVI, p. 376), and amongst 

 his other works we may mention here his large map of the Minahassa (1878, ^l^^) and 

 that of the Gulf of Tomini and the lands adjoining (1879). As to his sojourn in the Mina- 

 hassa, see also Rowley's Orn. Misc. 1878, m, p. 115. As a gentleman of high scientific 

 attainments he offered great help to all naturalists visiting the East Indian Ai-chipelago. 

 Sitrniciilus musschenbroeki from Batjan, now also known from Celebes, was named after him.

 and of further notes, Mr. Sclater made use in his Report (see: "The Voyage of H. M. S. 

 Challenger" 1873—1876, Zoology vol. 11, part VIH, 1880). There is, however, only one 

 species recorded belonging to our area, viz. a Lory from Melangis'), one of the Nanusa 

 Islands (1. c. p. 115) to the north of Celebes. Specimens are in the British Museiun. This

 In Celebes he procured (t. c. p. 121) "893 specimens of skins of mammals, birds, etc. in 254 

 species". His reports also contain some ornithological notes. He visited Macassar, Pankadjene, 

 Tjamba, Maros, Bonthain and Loka in South Celebes and Saleyer Island, but a full description

 Rhipidura teijsmanni, Pachycephala te/Jsmaniii and Cyrtostomiis teijsmanni were named after 

 him (s. Notes Leyden Museum 1893, XV, pp. 167, 170, 179). In the year 1860 he had also 

 visited the Minahassa on a short trip together with Prof, de Vriese, who died soon after-
