The BirdsofCelebes 



and the Neighbouring Islands 



(Sangi, Talaut, Sula, Togian etc.) 

 2 vols. AP (about 1000 pages) 



with about 50 coloured plates and maps. 



This work will be a history of the Birds of Celebes and the surrounding 

 islands, such as Talaut, Sangi, Sula, Togian, Saleyer, and geographically it will 

 adjoin and form a western continuation of Count Salvadori's famous „Ornitologia 

 della Papuasia e delle Molucche". About 350 species will be treated of, and of 

 these 50 — 60, most of which have not yet been figured, will be represented on 

 about 40 plates. A series of maps will illustrate the geographical distribution of 

 certain genera, the meteorological conditions of the archipelago, etc. Not only 

 the rieh collections from the localities in question in the Dresden Museum, but 

 also the fresh ornithological results of the travels of the D!!: P. & F. Sarasin 

 and of others have been at the disposition of the authors, so that they hope to 

 be able to give a fairly complete picture of the Avifauna of this province, upOjj 

 which they have already been at work for 3|- years. Attention has been paid t 

 the affinities of the species, local races, habits and, where possible, migration® 

 local wanderings, questions of Variation and geographical distribution. 



The work will appear as a whole at the price of ^ 10 (= M. 200 ; Frcs. 250) 

 to subscribers. 



After publication the price will be raised.
