and the Neighbouring Islands, 2 vols., 4to., with 42 coloured, and 3 plain, 



plates, and maps, bds., £10 Berlin, 1898 



This work is a history of the Birds of Celebes and the surrounding islands, such as Talaut, 

 Sangi, Sula, Togian, Saleyer, and geographically it adjoins and forms a western continuation ot 

 Count Salvadori's famous Ornitologia della Papuasia e delle Molucche. A series of maps 

 illustrates the geographical distribution of certain genera, the meteorological conditions of the 

 archipelago, etc. Not only the rich collections from the localities in question in the Dresden 

 Museum, but also the fresh ornithological results of the travels of Drs. P. and F. Sarasin and of 

 others, have been at the disposition of the authors, so that they have been able to give a fairly 

 complete picture of the avifauna of this province, upon which they were at work for four years. 

 Attention has been paid to the affinities of the species, local races, habits and, where possible, 

 migration, local wanderings, and questions of variations and geographical distribution,
