LIST OF BIRDS 
15 Y 
CHARLES HOSE 
D. Sc., Resident of the Baram District (Sarawak). 
The following is a list of the Birds obtained by me 
during a visit of two months to the northern districts of 
Celebes, most of which time I spent on Mount Masarang, and 
especially at Rurukan, a village situated at 4 000 feet up 
the mountain. 
I arrived at Menado on the 2 nd October 1895, and at 
once made arrangements for my journey to Tondano, 
which is situated in the neighbouring mountains at 
about 2 600 feet above the sea. The mountains are entirely 
volcanic, and two of the volcanoes, Klabat and Lokan 
are active. The scenery is everywhere very beautiful, 
and 1 found the neighbourhood of Rurukan an excellent 
collecting ground. I took with me my Dayak hunters from 
Baram, who speedily made friends with the Rurukan 
people, and the consequence was, that I had a small 
army of natives collecting for me in every direction. My 
principal object in visiting Celebes was to obtain some 
rare Mammalia, which were not represented in the Bri¬ 
tish Museum, and not only was I successful in procuring 
all the species 1 wanted, but also secured two new kinds 
of Bats, a new Bat, and a new species of Flower-pecker 
(Die seam).
