other specimens to different museums and collections in Germany and abroad. Dr. Platen 

 himself wrote about his trips in Celebes and Sangi in the "Gefiederten Welt" 1879, pp. 35S, 

 378; 1887, 193, 264. His bii-ds from Celebes and Sangi were carefully described by Prof. 

 W. Blasius in the Z. ges. Orn. 18S5, 201 (S. Celebes, 1878); Omis 1892, IV, 527 [Sangi, 

 1886); and Festschr. Vers. Naturf. Braunschw. 1897, p. 277 (N. Celebes, 1884—1886). 

 Aramidopsis plateni, and Ci/rtostoinus plateiii from Celebes were named after him, and 

 Criniger plateime after Mrs. Platen, who has always accompanied her husband. He lives 

 at Barth (Prussia). 



c. 1880. Laglaize (Leon). Frenchman. Collecting Naturalist. Made extensive expeditions 

 in the East Indian Arcliipelago and sojourned about 1880 in Celebes and Sangi; his ornitho- 

 logical collections from there are in the Paris and some other museums. 



1882. Ribbe (Carl) and Kiihn (Heinrich). Born 1861 and 1860. Germans. Collecting 

 naturahsts. They made an expedition together in the East Indian Arcliipelago from 18'^2 

 — 1885, and visited South and East Celebes in 1SS2 — 18S3, North and "West Celebes on 

 a short trip) in 1885; the island of Banggai and East Celebes for the second time were 

 visited by Mr. Kiihn alone in 1884 — 1S85. Part of their ornithological collections from Celebes 

 came to the Dresden Museum (see Sitzb. Ges. Isis, Dresden, 18S4, Abb. 1, pp. 16, 48); for a 

 general report on this voyage and on a second to the Bismarck Archipelago and Solomon 

 Islands (1892—1896) by R. alone, see: Deutsche geogr. Blatter 1895, vol. 18, p. 372. 

 Concerning Celebes Mr. Ribbe has published: "Ein Sammeltag am Wasserfall von Maros" 

 (see Krancher's entomolog. Jahrb. 1893). He is living near Dresden; Mr. Kiihn at Tual in 

 the Kei Islands as owner of a steam saw-mill. 



1883. Guillemard Francis Henry Hill). Born 1852. Englishman. Naturalist. Visited 

 North and South Celebes, 1883, during the "Cruise of the Marchesa to Kamtscliatka and

 and described his ornithological collections in the Proc. Zool. Soc. of London 1885, 542. 

 He collected 108 species in Celebes, 3 of which had not been recorded before from there, 

 though from elsewhere. These are mostly in the Tring Museum. Dr. Guillemard has also 

 travelled in Lapland and in Africa, and is now living in England at Trumpiugton near 

 Cambridge. 



1885. Hickson (Sydney John). Born 1859. Englishman. Naturalist. Made scientific 

 researches in North Celebes, Sangi and Talaut in 1885 to 1886 and gave some notes on 

 the birds there (see: "A Naturahst in North Celebes", 1889, Appendix B, p. 360). His ornitho- 

 logical collections, which are, however, small, are in the Cambridge Museum. He now is 

 Professor of Zoology at the Owens College, Manchester. 



1888. Weber (Max Carl Wilhelm). Born 1852. German. Naturalist. Professor of 

 Zoology at Amsterdam. During an exploring expedition in the East Indian Aixhipelago 

 (1888—1889) he visited South and Central Celebes and the Island of Saleyer, and procured 

 97 species of birds in 234 specimens in Celebes (of which, however, only 2 sjiecies of wide 

 distribution were as yet unknown from the island) and 14 species in 22 specimens in Saleyer. 

 These collections are partly in the Ley den Museum, partly in the Zoological Museum of the 

 University of Amsterdam. (See: "Zoologische Ergebnisse eiuer Reise in Niederlilndisch Ost-
