To:
Samuel Stevens
Date:
27 September 1856
Source of text:
  • Cambridge University Library: Add. 7339/235
  • Wallace, A. R. (1857). [Letter from Alfred R. Wallace dated 27 Sept. 1856, Macassar]. Zoologist: 15(176): 5559-5560
Summary:

Talks of his arrival in Celebes [Sulawesi] and describes very sparse land. There are some woods (patch of about 6-8 miles) and he has found some birds and butterflies but no beetles. Talks of the difficulties collecting here being similar to that of the Amazon. Good collection of birds, including an abundance of Raptorial birds - the first place he has found these in the Archipelago. Collected over 40 species of bird, which he believes include some new species. Then talks of local traditions and some administrative matters.
