Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Philippine Islands and Their People: A Record of Personal Observation and Experience, With a Short Summary of the More Important Facts, in the History of the Archipelago During the years 1870-74, Dr. J. B. Steere made an extended trip for the purpose of gathering zoological specimens and ethnological material, and in the course of his travels visited the Philippine Islands. He found the archipelago in an unsettled state. The fierce Moros of the south interfered somewhat with his work, means of communication between the islands were most unsatisfactory, and he was hampered by ill-health; but in spite of the disadvantages under which he laboured he secured a considerable collection of birds. This collection was afterward submitted to the authorities at the British Museum, and was found to contain representatives of no less than forty-three species which were new to science. Dr. Steere´s results tempted others to visit this little-known field, but Mr. Everett, an English naturalist, was the only one to make extensive collections. He also discovered a surprising number of new birds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
