MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES, &c. 
Dr, JSleeker having brought to our notice a mistake in the 
translation of a sentence in his paper on the ichthyology of 
Sambawa (J Ind Arch- Vol II p 634) we subjoin the original 
and a literal translation We were misled by the words 
“niet alleen,” which seemed to indicate that the author had 
intended a more direct connection between the first and sec¬ 
ond clauses of the sentence than the latter, taken by itself, 
actually expressed 
“De pogingen tot die publicatie door ray by het gouverne- 
ment van Neerlandsch Indie aangewend, hebben niet alleera 
niet den gewenschten uitslag gehad, maar opvolgende over 
plaatsingen van Batavia naar Samarang eu Soerabaya hebben 
my zelfs buiten de mogelykheid gesteld, mijn met jaren 
moeite en groote kosten bijeengebragt kabinet, ten dienste 
der Ichthyologische wetenschap aan te wenden/* 
“The efforts for this publication by me with the government 
of Netherlands India made, have not only not had the desired 
result, but succeeding removals from Batavia to Samarang and 
Surabaya have even placed me beyond the possibility of 
applying my cabinet, collected with years labour and great 
cost, to the service of ichthyological science.” 
We have received a statement from Panghulu Kisang in 
reply to the portion of the Rev. M. Favre’s narrative relating 
to him (ante p. 59), which want of space compels us to 
postpone till our next number. 
The conclusion of Mr Freidrich’s paper we have withheld 
until the arrival of some Javanese types which were promised 
us.
