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 of Count Salvadori's 
famous Ornitologia della Papnasia e delle Molucche. About 
400 species are treated of, and of these 73, most of which have not yet 
been figured, are represented on 42 plates. A series of maps illustrates 
the geographica! distribution of certain genera, the meteorological condi- 
tions of the archipelago, etc. Not only the rieh collections from the 
localities in question in the Dresden Museum, but also the fresh ornitho- 
logical results of the Drs. 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, upon which they 
have already been at work for 6 years. Attention has been paid to the 
affinities of the species, local races, habits and where possible, migration, 
local wanderings, questions of Variation and geographica! distribution.
