Science historian Dr John van Wyhe and his fellow researchers at the National University of Singapore have compiled the entire collection of Alfred Russel Wallace’s documented life and discoveries from his scientific travels. The memoir includes 28,000 pages of historical manuscripts and 22,000 magnificent illustrations. All these documents, published and unpublished, are now freely available on their website Wallace Online.
Tricholglossus Flavoviridis
Commonly known as the Citrine lorikeet, Wallace first obtained this bird for research in Menado, the capital city of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. He noticed their population was more abundant in the Sula Islands due to a lack of competition with other birds. Unfortunately for him, his specimen was carried away by a rat and was never recovered.
