Details of checklist:
Andrew, P. (1992). The Birds of Indonesia: a Checklist (Peters" Sequence).
KUKILA Checklist No. 1. Indonesian Ornithol. Soc.: Jakarta.

I got my copy from Andrew Isles Bookshop in Melbourne. If you don't know
this bookshop, I'll email you the contact details, etc.
Full details of the book:
White, C.M.N. and Bruce, M.D. (1986). The Birds of Wallacea (Sulawesi, The
Moluccas and Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia): an annotated check-list.
B.O.U. Checklist No. 7. Brit. Ornithol. Union: London. Cost around AU$100.
There are several field guides that would be of use to you including:
Coates, Bishop and Gardner (1997): A Guide to the Birds of Wallacea:
Sulawesi, The Moluccas and Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia.
Also possibly of interest if:
Jepson and Ounsted (editors) (1997): Birding Indonesia: a Birdwatcher's
Guide to the World's Largest Archipelago. Periplus Editions in assoc. with
Birdlife International.
I've forwarded on your message to a friend/contact who may be able to help
you. He will contact you by email if he can.
Hope the new posting and birding opportunities go well
Jennifer Muir
