Abstract
THIS, the fourth volume of the series which the authors have devoted to the natural history of Celebes, is a welcome addition to our knowledge of the East Indian Archipelago. The recent geological history of the island, and the light thrown upon it by the distribution of the animals and plants of the region, has already formed the subject of a special memoir. Here we have a description of the surface features and configuration of Celebes so far as that has been explored, a record of many interesting1 observations, geographical and geological, made during several years spent in travel in nearly every quarter of the island, with petrographical notes on the rock specimens collected (including a special chapter by Prof. C. Schmidt), a sketch map on the scale of 1 in 2,000,000 and tables of the observed altitudes of many important stations.
