Abstract

All new records of Sumatran birds collected by various observers over the period from 1987 to 1995 that add significantly to the status or distribution as given in the Sumatran checklist (van Marle & Voous 1988) are described. This is the second regional (island) report published by Kukila, the first covering Sulawesi in 1990

Abstract

Pulau Tinjil and Pulau Deli are islands of 600 ha and 950 ha respectively lying 14 km off the south coast of West Java. The authors made six visits to one or other of the islands between 1988 and 1995. Both are covered with primary forest, but a large population of Long-tailed Macaque monkeys has recently been introduced on both islands as a free-range monkey-breeding facility. The islands have an depauperate avifauna with probably just 20 resident landbird species, common to both islands. These include one near-threatened species, the Nicobar Pigeon, which was formerly very common but which may have suffered as a result of the introduction of monkeys. Other small island/coastal specialists include the Beach Thick-knee, Pied Imperial Pigeon and Chestnut-capped Thrush. Except along the beaches, there are few forest-edge habitats, and most of the landbirds, including those normally occupying open habitats on the mainland such as White-breasted Waterhen, Yellow-vented Bulbul and Brown-throated Sunbird, have expanded their range to occupy the forest niche

Abstract

In the introduction to his Annotated checklist of the birds of Borneo, Smythies (1957) outlines the history of ornithological study on the island. A notable lack of field studies in Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) is apparent over the past fifty years. In the previous century, there had been some two dozen individuals collecting or studying, especially in the Banjarmasin area, but faunal studies virtually ceased after the outbreak of the Second World War. Pfeffer (1960-1961) took part in a French expedition to East Kalimantan, and Pearson (1975) published a brief list of birds in the Kutai reserve, the site of a field research station until it was destroyed by fire in 1983. Their data, and some unpublished records of a few others in the 1970's (J. T. Marshall, K. V. Thompson) are incorporated into the third edition of Smythies' The Birds of Borneo (1981). The purpose of the present paper is to publish notes on Kalimantan birds to cover the period from those included in the latest edition of Smythies' work up to the present time, and thus to update the record in expectation of an increase in ornithological activity in the near future. There has been very little further study, and in acknowledgement to Smythies' third edition, the Earl of Cranbook writes: “I regret only that the book still retains such a strongly northern and north-western bias. The four provinces of Kalimantan encompass the greater part of the island of Borneo. Up-to-date ornithological knowledge of this area is sadly deficient, perhaps this edition will find its way into Indonesia and stimulate interest and comment”. The present paper contributes a little to redress this imbalance.
Status report on Indonesian galliformes Derek A Holmes

Abstract

This is a preliminary report on the status of galliformes in Indonesia, which has been prepared with three objectives: to alert conservationists to areas of danger, to demonstrate the paucity of data for most species, and to serve as a basis for updating Information. An IUCN/ICBP Red Data Book' category is given for each species (endangered, vulnerable, rare, Indeterminate and out of danger), but it cannot be too strongly emphasized that this category, which refers only to Indonesia, is PROVISIONAL; in many cases it 1s little more than a guess. Against each species is also stated whether or not -it is protected under Indonesian law.

Abstract

Details are provided of records of Cairina scutulata from North-western Sumatra. These are the first reports of this endangered species from outside the South-eastern corner of Sumatra since 1909, and they greatly expand the range in which remnant populations may still occur.

Abstract

A perusal of the distribution list in the BOU Sumatran Checklist (Mark & Voous 1988) indicates a need for a systematic review of the birds of the West Sumatran islands. The objective of this paper is to summarize every species of land bird that has been recorded on each of the main islands, and to highlight those for which substantiating field records have been collected since 1970. At the same time, the opportunity is taken to comet any omissions and errors in the Checklist, and to add recent new island records.
