p 15 The Fauna of Celebes, Timor, & others as Ceram, Flores, Bourou, Gilolo Amboine, Banda Ternate differs from that of Borneo, Sumatra & Java.

p 15 Celebes offers many species of mammifers & birds different from those of Java & Sumatra: but the relation to Borneo is doubtful. Celebes has species of Hylobates, Semnopithecus, Phalangers not found inside de Sonde (Marsupials!) (the true representatives of Didelphis in New World) Sus barbirussa — (This pig is said to live in Bourrou & Borneo.) Antilope depressicornis — a large cervus. Tarsius Daubentonii a peculiar quadrumana genus, of which no representative is found in Sunda (Java &c &c &c)

p. 16. Bourrou not sufficiently known.

p. 17. Amboine has few quadrupeds in the country of Phalangers of division Couscous few birds peculiar or remarkable — Cepholates Bot? of Perron which is found in Timor & other islands. — The mammifers inhabiting islands bordering towards New Guinea Banda Ternate Gilolo Waigiou. — are not found in Sunda

p. 18. Timor serves as limit between population of animals celle du nord ressemble, par les espèces identiques comme par celles differentes, aux types des genres dont les autres îles du grand archipel sont peuplées; de l'autre côté de cette chaîne, sur le versant méridional, se montreut tout-à-coup les premiers représentans d'une faune particuliere, d'une création propre à l' Australie."

[insertion:] This is most important for it shows that forms & community of species go together.

Many birds common to Timor & Australia. Scythrops presageur. Many species of bristly tongued Melliphaga et Phyllornis are common to both — The only mammifer of Timor, that are known "5 or 6 Cheiropteres, un Phalanger, nu Petaurus et quelques Rongeurs."

p. 21 In Japan, some of the islands have large quadrupeds, whilst others have not. –

Jesso has a gigantic bear, Nippon has not it; but [illeg] bear common to India

p. 22 Japan has few quadrupeds relatively the size even then Moluccas. No cat except House one. Nisus & Canis strong in species — representative of Martes & Putorius. one species of Monkey Inuus speciosus. Petaurista leucogenys Antilope crispa, little different in form from Antilope Cambtan of Sumatra, & Antilope goural des monts Himalaya — a peculiar species of Sus. do of Cervus. (C. Nippon) — with the [illeg] of some new forms in the Rongeurs, all the species into group with those of Europe & Asia — differently from what happens in Indian Archipelago.

p. 23 great list of birds common to Japan & Europe compare this with Audubon & with Gould Himalaya

some curious remarks will come out.

p. 26 — Amongst [Carledons] insects of Japan, only one new form.—
