iSDf), and (Ictcniiinrd (o explore l^oiitliaiu Peak, an enormous 

 mountain of lu^arly 1(),()()() I'cet elevation in the southern 

 peninsula ol'Celehes. During his stay there he met the two 

 Messrs. Sarasin similarly employed, and their spccinuMis, 

 having reaelied I'^urope first, have been already deseribed by 

 Messrs. Meyer and Wiglesvvorth (see Ibis, 1895, p. 397). 

 Nevertheless Mr. Everett was still able to add new species 

 to the list. Mr. Hartert refers Mr, Everett's specimens to 

 103 species, of which the following are described as new : — 

 Cinnyris frenata dissentiens, Oriolus celebensis meridionulis 

 (ex MS. Meyer et Wiglesw.), Siphia hontliaina, and Sjrilo- 

 sp'izias irinotalus hcesitandus. Specimens wore also procured 

 of the rare Crow Gazzola typica, imd two mulcn of Surniciif us 

 muscheii/jroeki — a Cuckoo of which only one female (procured 

 in Batchian by ])r. A. B. Meyer's hunters) was previously 

 known {cf. Cat. Birds, xix. p. 230). 



On leaving Celebes Mr. Everett sent his men to Salcyer, 

 and afterwards went there himself, and also to the adjoining 

 islands of Kalao and Djampea, between Elores and Celebes, 

 Salcyer had been previously visited by Prof. Max. Weber in 

 1888-80, and examples of 11 species were obtained there 

 (sec Ibis, 1801, p. 135). But Mr. Everett has now increased 

 the list to 40 species, and has collected specimens of 41 

 species in l)jam])ea and 21 in Kalao. 



Mr, Everett's series from these three islands represent 

 altogether 73 spt;cies, of which Pachycepkalus everctli, Edu- 

 llosonia emancipata (lege einuticipaluin !), Siphia djaiiipeana, 

 Monarcha everettl, Pitta virg'malis, and Osmotrerou wallacei 

 pallidior are now described as new from Djampea, and Siphia 

 kalaoensis from Kalao. " Erom the [)rcsent material it 

 would appear that both Djampea and Kalao have as 

 much, or rather more, in common with the Lesser Sunda 

 Islands and Timor as with Celebes. But a few forms are 

 peculiar. 



" The ornis of Salcyer is evidently that of South Celebes 

 in general,"
