  This 
  little 
  book 
  is 
  intended 
  to 
  give 
  notices 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  

   species

  birds 
  which 
  are 
  known 
  to 
  have

  more

  a 
  radius 
  of 
  some 
  twelve

  221

  a

  Before 
  departing 
  on 
  a 
  fresh 
  expedition 
  into 
  the 
  unexplored 
  

   east 
  M.V. 
  Whitehead 
  has 
  done 
  well 
  in 
  giving 
  us 
  full 
  parti- 
  

   culars 
  concerning 
  his 
  previous 
  journey, 
  which 
  lasted 
  from 
  

   1884 
  to 
  1888. 
  The 
  great 
  feature 
  of 
  this 
  adventure 
  was 
  the 
  

   ornithological 
  exploration 
  of 
  Kina 
  Balu, 
  with 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  

   which 
  readers 
  of 
  ' 
  The 
  Ibis 
  ' 
  are 
  already 
  well 
  acquainted. 
  

   They 
  will, 
  however, 
  be 
  interested 
  to 
  learn 
  the 
  experiences 
  

   undergone 
  by 
  ]Mr. 
  Whitehead 
  in 
  attaining 
  these 
  results, 
  and 
  

   will 
  admire 
  the 
  pertinacity 
  with 
  which, 
  though 
  foiled 
  at 
  first, 
  

   he 
  ultimately 
  carried 
  his 
  plans 
  to 
  a 
  most 
  successful 
  issue.
