the birds of North Celebes (Nat. Tijdschr. Ned. Ind. 1877, XXXVI, p. 376), and amongst 
his other works we may mention here his large map of the Minahassa (1878, and 
that of the Gulf of Tomini and the lands adjoining (1879). As to his sojourn in the Mina- 
hassa, see also Rowley’s Orn. Misc. 1878, m, p. 115. As a gentleman of high scientific 
attainments he oflered great help to all naturalists visiting the East Indian Archipelago. 
Surnicuhis musschenhroeki from Batjan, now also known from Celebes, was named after him. 
1875. Murray (John). Born 1841. Scotsman (Canada). Naturalist on the “Challenger” 
under whose superintendence the ornithological collections were formed, and of whose note-hook, 
and of further notes, Mr. Sclater made use in his Report (see: “The Voyage of H. M. S. 
Challenger” 1873—1876, Zoology vol. II, part Vm, 1880). There is, however, only one 
species recorded belonging to our area, viz. a Lory from Melangisi), one of the Nanusa 
Islands (1. c. p. 115) to the north of Celebes. Specimens are in the British Museum. This 
bird was afterwards named Eos challengeri. Dr. Murray lives in Edinburgh as Director 
of the Scottish Marine Station for Scientific Research and is a member of the Fishery Board 
for Scotland.

sides various journeys in the Archipelago not mentioned here) to South Celebes and Saleyer 
(1. c. 1879, XX Xy iTT , p. 54), and on these occasions he collected birds among other objects. 
In Celebes he procured (t. c. p. 121) “893 specimens of skins <5f mammals, birds, etc. in 254 
species”. His reports also contain some ornithological notes. He visited Macassar, Pankadjene, 
Tjamha, Maros, Bonthain and Loka in South Celebes and Saleyer Island, hut a full description 
of his valuable ornithological collection sent to the Leyden Museum was never given. 
Rhipiditra teijsmmini^ Pachycephala teijsmanni and Cyrtostomus teijsmamii were named after 
him (s. Notes Leyden Museum 1893, XV, pp. 167, 170, 179). In the year 1860 he had also 
visited the Minahassa on a short trip together with Prof, de Vries e, who died soon after- 
wards. (See 1. c. 1861, XXIII, pp. 343 — 369.)
