This series contains material from Sulawesi (formerly the Celebes, in Indonesia). It includes a hand drawn map of local language distribution, the first page Condrington’s 70-word list (a comparative vocabulary list compiled by Capell of English, Sangir, Banggai, Simolur and Makassar Bugis), and a table of pronouns and other words compiled by Capell based on other papers.

Sulawesi (formerly Celebes) is a large island in Indonesia. It is the world's eleventh largest island, covering an area of 174,600 km². The island is surrounded in the west by Borneo, the north by the Philippines, east by Maluku, and to the south by Flores and Timor. The island has a distinctive shape, dominated by four large peninsulas (see Sulawesi peninsulas). The central part of the island is ruggedly mountainous, such that the island's peninsulas have traditionally been remote from each other, with better connections by sea than by road.
