O Journal of the F.M.S. Museums. [Vol. VII,
II. BIRDS.
With the exception of a short list of birds collected on the
"Lingga Islands," presumably Lingga itself, by the late Alfred
Everetts' collectors by Dr. Hartert (Nov. Zool. vii, pp. 549-50
(1900) I am not aware of any account of the avifauna of anv
of the Rhio-Lingga Archipelago.
From an ornithologist's point of view most of the small
Indo-Malayan islands lying within the 20 fathom line from
larger land-masses are extremely uninteresting and Mapor,
where, with the exception of two species of sun-birds, birds
were very scarce both in species and individuals, proved no
exception to this rule. A list of the specimens observed or
obtained is however given, those of which no specimens
were preserved being marked with an asterisk.
