  Dr. 
  H. 
  ten 
  Kate 
  has 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  Leyden 
  Museum 
  collections 
  

   of 
  birds 
  from 
  the 
  East 
  Indian 
  islands 
  o£ 
  Flores, 
  Sumba 
  (or 
  

   Sandalwood), 
  and 
  Rotti, 
  a 
  small 
  island 
  near 
  Timor, 
  and 
  

   Mr. 
  Bilttikofer 
  gives 
  us 
  an 
  account 
  of 
  them. 
  The 
  specimens 
  

   from 
  Flores 
  belong 
  to 
  13 
  species, 
  of 
  which 
  one 
  {Acanthiza 
  

   lenkalei) 
  is 
  described 
  as 
  new. 
  The 
  occurrence 
  of 
  this 
  

   Australian 
  genus 
  so 
  far 
  away 
  from 
  its 
  focus 
  is 
  remarkable. 
  

   From 
  Sumba 
  examples 
  of 
  32 
  species 
  were 
  received. 
  

   These 
  are 
  mostly 
  birds 
  that 
  also 
  occur 
  in 
  Flores, 
  but 
  

   Dicceum 
  wilhelminoi 
  is 
  new 
  and 
  peculiar. 
  Mr. 
  lUittikofcr 
  

   also 
  makes 
  important 
  remarks 
  on 
  Stigmatops 
  ocularis 
  and 
  

   Munia 
  nisoria 
  from 
  this 
  island. 
  From 
  Rotti 
  five 
  species 
  are 
  

   catalogued, 
  of 
  which 
  Rhipidura 
  lenkalei 
  is 
  described 
  as 
  new.
