174 GERYGONE SALVADORII, 
NOTE XXV. 
ON A NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS GERYGONE 
FROM BORN EO 
BY 
J. BUTTIKOFER. 
The Leyden Museum is in possession of a male and a 
female of a species of Gerygone, collected by Schwaner in 
Southern Borneo. These two specimens are identified by 
Finsch with G. sulphurea Wall., the typical and probably 
hitherto unique specimen of which species has been collected 
by Wallace on the Island of Solor, one of the small islands 
near the eastern end of Flores. As far as we may conclude 
from the geographical distribution of the other species of 
the genus, it is not very reasonable that two birds from 
these different localities would belong to one and the same 
species, and it is not without much reservation that Sal- 
vadori accepts this name in his work: Uccelli di Borneo’). 
A year later, in his Uccelli di Celebes*), the learned 
author feels much inclined to consider our two birds to 
belong to a different, still undescribed species. — Sharpe, 
who had seen the two birds in 1878, without being able 
to compare them with the typical G. flaveola, united them 
with G. flaveola from Celebes, to which species they are 
certainly very closely allied.
