 Head rather darker than the baek^ with an indistinct pale 



mesial line. 

 Underparts^ axillaries, and wing-lining greyish yellow, paler 



on the throat. 

 Fourth and fifth primaries longest. Sixth and seventh rather 



shorter. Third primary equal to the seventh. Second 



primary equal to the eleventh or twelfth. 

 Bastard primary rather large, the exposed part measuring "55. 

 First bar rather indistinct, sometimes altogether abraded.

This species has hitherto only been found on the island of 

 Timor. There are two skins in the British Museum, the 

 types of Gerygone superciliosa of Wallace, and a third skin 

 labelled ^' Sylvia {Phyllopneuste) presbytis, Timor, Wallace." 

 I cannot detect any difference between these birds and those, 

 collected by Midler, in the Leyden Museum.
