CELEBES.
(MENADO, JUNE TO SEPTEMBER, 1859.) IT was after my residence at Timor-Coupang that I visited the northeastern extremity of Celebes, touching Banda, Amboyna, and Ternate on my way.

I reached Menado on the 10th of June, 1859, and was very kindly received by Mr.Tower, an Englishman, but a very old resident in Menado, where he carries on a general business.

He introduced me to Mr.
L.Duivenboden (whose father had been my friend at Ternate), who had much taste for natural history; and to Mr.Neys, a native of Menado, but who was educated at Calcutta, and to whom Dutch, English, and Malay were equally mother-tongues.

All these gentlemen showed me the greatest kindness, accompanied me in my earliest walks about the country, and assisted me by every means in their power.
