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."
