History of ornithology of Pacific Islands and Timor (pre 1820)

Dear all, As Australian birders are well informed on Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalo, Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, Mariana Islands, Austral Islands, Tuamoto Archipel, Marquesas and Norfolk Island, Tahiti, Fiji, New Caledonia I think this is the best place to ask this question. In what papers or books can I find the ornithological history of these places up to roughly 1820? I only find very few works that cover ornithological exploration of these parts of the world. I’m also looking for a source/paper that covers the Natural History of Timor. Any publications covering these subjects would help enormously. Please reply privately (Justin.jansen@gmail.com). Thank you very much, Justin Jansen The Netherlands _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org
