DUTCH BORNFO-EXPEDITION. '217 



Ibis 1889, p. 425, under the name of A. modesta, belong 

 to the present species, which, on account of the ridged 

 culmen, is a true Arachnothera. I may be allowed to remember, 

 that the Sumatran specimens in the Leyden Museum, from 

 the Highlands of Padang (Dr, Klaesi) and Deli (Dr. Hagen), 

 belong to A. modesta and not to A. af finis, which latter 

 species seems to be restricted to Java.

1) This species is said by Muller & Schlegel (Verhand. Aves, p. 69), and 

 upon their authority by other ornithologists, to be found also in Celebes. This 

 opinion is based upon a specimen in the Leyden Museum, labelled «Forsten, 

 Celebes", but no other evidence being known as to its occurrence on that island, 

 the proveniance of the specimen in question must be considered as very doubtful.
