Editor Charles H. Smith's Note: Introductory comments to the systematic list, read at the
Zoological Society of London meeting of 13 June 1865, and later printed in their Proceedings
series for 1865. The original publication included two color plates, not given here. Original

[[p. 474]] I have here given the characters of twenty-one species of birds which appear to be
new, and which, together with those already described by Mr. G. R. Gray and myself in the
'Proceedings' of this Society, and also a few described by Mr. Gould and Dr. Sclater, make up
the number of 212 new species collected by me in the islands of the Malay archipelago. Of those
now described, eight are from Celebes, and the rest from Sumatra, Borneo, the Moluccas, and the
New Guinea group.
