Appendix III
Revised Spelling of the Names of the Islands
Belonging to the Sultanate of Ternate
[Translator’s note: This partial list of island names, appearing on pages 326-327 of the
original publication, is not translated here because these names and many others appear
elsewhere in this text (with updated spellings) and can be found by searching the text. In a
note at the end of the list, de Clercq states that he has not included the names of the
islands belonging to the Sultanate of Tidore, since those should be included in another
publication on New Guinea. He is referring to his later 1893 publication, “Ethnographische
beschrijving van de west- en noord-kust van Nederlandsch Nieuw-Guinea” (Leiden: P.W.M.
Trap).]
