ON THE BIRDS OF THE KEY AND SOUTH-EAST ISLANDS, 

 AND OF CERAM-LAUT. 



By ERNST HARTERT. 



(Coufmued from Vol. Till., 1901). 



IN Yolnme VIII. of Novitates Zoologicae, on p. 1, I began tlie account of the 

 collections of birds made by Mr. Heinrich Kiihn on the Ke\- group, the so- 

 called South-East Islands (Tiandoe, Taana, Manggoer, Kner, Teoor, Watoebela, 

 Manawoka, Goram-lant, and C'erara-laut). The introduction and the enumeration 

 of the Pittidae and Psittaci filled pages 1 to 5. The work was continued with the 

 list of the Columbae, Megapodiidae, Ttu-nicidac, Rallidae, Alcedinidae, Laridac, 

 Podicipidae, Ibidae, Plataleidac and Limicolac on pages 93 — 101. Between 

 Nos. 53 and 54 (p. 99) the heading " XII. LIMICOLAE " has been omitted. The 

 present article concludes the work with the review of the Accipitres, Cuculi, 

 Coraciidae, Caprimulgidae, Cypselidae, all the Passeirs, the Anatidae, and 

 Steganojiodes, bringing the total up to 151 sjiecies and subspecies. It must, 

 however, be understood that this is only a list of what Mr. Kiihn collected on these 

 islands. Occasionally I have mentioned species recorded in the literature, but not 

 obtained by Mr. Kiihn ; but no attempt has been made to complete their number. 

 As, however, Mr. Kiihn's collections are very rich in species, the number of birds 

 missed by him will doubtless be very small and not alter the aspect of the 

 ornis as given by my articles. Though very little is evidently to be added to 

 onr knowledge of the species inhabiting these islands, our information of their 

 life-history and nidification is still very incomplete.
