LIST OF BIRDS 



COLLECTED IN NORTHERN CELEBES 



CHARLES HOSE 

 D. Sc, Resident of the Baram District (Sarawak). 



The following is a list of the Eirds ohtainod by me 

 diiring a visit of Iwo months to the northern districts of 

 Celebes, most of which lime I spenton ]\lountMasarang, and 

 especially at Riirukan, a village situat^d at 4 000 feet up 

 the mountain. 



I arrived at Mcnado on the 2°'^ October 1895, aml at 

 once made arrangements for my journey to Tondano, 

 which is sitiiated in Ihe ncighboiiring mountains at 

 about 2 600 feet above the sea. The mountains are entirely 

 volcanic, and two of the volcanoes, Klabat and Lokan 

 are active, The scenery is everywhere very beautiful, 

 and I found the neighbourhood of Rurukan an excellent 

 collectingground. I took with me my Dayak hunters from 

 Baram, who speedily made friends with the Rurukan 

 people, and the consequence was, that I had a smaii 

 army of natives collecting for me in every direction. My 

 principal object in visiting Celebes was to obtain some 

 rare Mammalia, which were not represented in the Bri- 

 tish Museum, and not only was I successful in procuring 

 all the species I wanted, but also secured two new kinds 

 of Bats, a new Bat, and a new species of Flower-pecker 

 [Dicseum).
