Hob. Timor Group : Timor, Semao, Lombock, Flores, Sumbava. 



I have seen specimens from Timor, Lombock, Sumbava, and 

 Flores, and they certainly belong to the same species; therefore, I 

 think that Dr. Finsch was not right in attributing the Lombock and 

 Flores birds to C. sulphurea, which is confined to the Celebes group.
