other specimens to different museums and collections in Germany and abroad. Dr. Platen 
himself wrote about his trips in Celebes and Sangi in the “Gefiederten Welt” 1879, pp. 358, 
378, 1887, 193, 264. His birds from Celebes and Sangi were carefully described by Prof. 
W. Blasius in the Z. ges. Orn. 1885, 201 (8. Celebes, 1878); Ornis 1892, lY, 527 (Sangi, 
1886); and Festschr. Vers. Naturf. Braunschw. 1897, p. 277 (N. Celebes, 1884—1886). 
Aramidopsis plateni, and Cyrtostomiis plateni from Celebes were named after him, and 
Criniger ptlatenae after Mrs. Platen, who has always accompanied her husband. He lives 
at Barth (Prussia). 
c. 1880. Laglaize (Leon). Frenchman. Collecting Naturalist. Made extensive expeditions 
in the East Indian Archipelago and sojourned about 1880 in Celebes and Sangi; bis ornitho- 
logical collections from there are in the Paris and some other museums. 
1882. Ribbe (Carl) and Kiihn (Heinrich). Born 1861 and 1860. Germans. Collecting 
naturalists. They made an expedition together in the East Indian Archipelago from 1882 
—1885, and visited South and East Celebes in 1882—1883, North and West Celebes (on 
a short trip) in 1885; the island of Banggai and East Celebes for the second time were 
visited by Mr. Kuhn alone in 1884 — 1885. Part of their ornithological collections from Celebes 
came to the Dresden Museum (see Sitzb. Ges. Isis, Dresden, 1884, Abh. 1, pp. 16, 48); for a 
general report on this voyage and on a second to the Bismarck Archipelago and Solomon 
Islands (1892 — 1896) by B. alone, see: Deutsche geogr. Blatter 1895, vol. 18, p. 372. 
Concerning Celebes Mr. Kibbe has published: “Ein Sammeltag am Wasserfall von Maros” 
(see Krancher’s entomolog. Jahrb. 1893). He is living near Dresden; Mr. Kuhn at Tual in 
the Kei Islands as owner of a steam saw-mill. 
1883. Guillemard (Francis Henry Hill). Born 1852. Englishman. Naturalist. Visited 
North and South Celebes, 1883, during the “Cruise of the Marchesa to Kamtschatka and 
New Guinea” (1886, p. 153 — 215: Chapter on Celebes, where there are some notes on birds) 
and described his ornithological collections in the Proc. Zool. Soc. of London 1885, 542. 
He collected 108 species in Celebes, 3 of which had not been recorded before from there, 
though from elsewhere. These are mostly in the Tring Museum. Dr. Guillemard has also 
travelled in Lapland and in Africa, and is now living in England at Trumpington near 
Cambridge. 
1885. Hickson (Sydney John). Born 1859. Englishman. Naturahst. Made scientific 
researches in North Celebes, Sangi and Talaut in 1885 to 1886 and gave some notes on 
the birds there (see: “A Naturalist in North Celebes”, 1889, Appendix B, p. 360). His ornitho- 
logical collections, which are, however, small, are in the Cambridge Museum. He now is 
Professor of Zoology at the Owens College, Manchester. 
1888. Weber (Max Carl Wilhelm). Born 1852. German. Naturahst. Professor of 
Zoology at Amsterdam. During an exploring expedition in the East Indian Archipelago 
(1888—1889) he visited South and Central Celebes and the Island of Saleyer, and procured 
97 species of birds in 234 specimens in Celebes (of which, however, only 2 species of wide 
distribution were as yet unknown from the island) and 14 species in 22 specimens in Saleyer. 
These collections are partly in the Leyden Museum, partly in the Zoological Museum of the 
University of Amsterdam. (See: “Zoologische Ergebnisse einer Beise in Niederlandisch Ost- 
Indien”, 1894, HI, p. 269.) 
1890. Eadde (Gustav Ferdinand Bichard). Born 1831. German. Naturalist.
