This was a better locality, and I obtained some fine butterflies and very good birds, among which was one more specimen of the rare ground dove (Phlegaenas tristigmata), which I had first obtained near the Maros waterfall in South Celebes.
Hearing what I was particularly in search of, Mr.Goldmann kindly offered to make a hunting-party to the place where the "Maleos" are most abundant, a remote and uninhabited sea-beach about twenty miles distant.
The climate here was quite different from that on the mountains; not a drop of rain having fallen for four months; so I made arrangements to stay on the beach a week, in order to secure a good number of specimens.
We went partly by boat and partly through the forest, accompanied by the Major or head-man of Licoupang, with a dozen natives and about twenty dogs.

On the way they caught a young Sapi-utan and five wild pigs.

Of the former I preserved the head.

This animal is entirely confined to the remote mountain forests of Celebes and one or two adjacent islands which form part of the same group.

In the adults the head is black, with a white mark over each eye, one on each cheek and another on the throat.
The horns are very smooth and sharp when young, but become thicker and ridged at the bottom with age.
