1. TRAVEL AND LITERATURE. 
The naturalists and collectors who have done work among the birds of this 
area first deserve attention, and to the following short biographical notes con- 
cerning them we append a list of the publications on the Birds of Celebes and 
the neighbouring islands, based more or less directly on these travellers’ results. 
We are afraid that our lists are not complete, either in regard to its including 
all the names of ornithological collectors, or all items of literature. As to the 
latter we have restricted ourselves, with a few exceptions, to the period after 
the publication of Walden’s “List of the Birds known to inhabit the Island 
of Celebes” in the year 1872, and several papers and books, which we have 
not enumerated in our list, though they contain something on Celebesian Birds, 
will be found in the synonymy of the species, if they have not been unhappily 
entirely overlooked. 
1793. Labillardiere (Jacques Julien Houton de) 1755 — 1834. Brencliman. Naturalist. 
Accompanied Dentrecasteaux’ expedition in search of la Perouse (see: Relation du voyage 
par le C®^ Labillardiere; an VIII [1800] vol. II, p. 298). The ships spent 18 days in 
passing through the strait beLveen Buton and Muna, and parties landed upon both islands. 
There is no doubt that the “Pie de la Nouvelle Caledonie”(!), Streptocitta albicollis (VieilL), 
was then obtained, as possibly also Bp. Labillardiere mentions some Parrots 
in these islands. Besides the above, he published many works and papers on botany, etc. 
1821. Reinwardt (Caspar Georg Carl) 1773 — 1854. German. Naturalist. Sojourned 
from 1816 — 1822 in the East Indian Archijjelago , visited about 1820 the Island of Saleyer, 
spent a few months in 1821 in North Celebes (see: Reinwardt’s Reis naar het oostelijk 
gedeelte van den indischen Archipel in het jaar 1821 by W. H. de Vries e, Amst. 1858, 
pp. 503 — 538, Gorontalo; pp. 539—603, the Minahassa; with plates, 7 concerning Celebes, and 
the published Catalogues of the Leyden Museum). His ornithological collections are in the 
Leyden Museum, — - see the list of Birds collected (125 species) in the work quoted (pp. 237 — 239) 
and the mention of 633 specimens of birds etc. sent home (p. 245). On p. 592 some birds 
of the Minahassa are recorded. As to ornithological papers he only wrote: “Uber die Art und 
den Ursprung der essharen Vogelnester auf Java” (1838), hut we do not know where this 
has been published. Baza reimvardti^ occurring on islands south of Celebes and elsewhere, 
was named after him.
