Excerpt from The Birds of the Natuna Islands

Ornithological knowledge of the interesting area known as the Natuna Islands dates from 1893. In that year the well-known collector, A. Everett, visited the group, and in September and October made the first collection of birds. Late in the summer and in the autumn (july to October) of the following year a brother of Charles Hose, the Bornean explorer, made a second collection of birds.
