  between

  of

  Moreover, 
  I 
  am 
  

   inclined 
  to 
  remove 
  several 
  s])ecies 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Everett's 
  Table

  and 
  

   make 
  for 
  tliem 
  a

  It 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  to

  tliat 
  the 
  evi- 
  

   dence 
  furnished 
  by

  species 
  in 
  Basilan, 
  Mindanao, 
  

   Leyte, 
  Samar, 
  and 
  Luzon. 
  

  

  I 
  shall 
  of 
  course 
  admit 
  that 
  in 
  several 
  instances 
  the 
  closest 
  allies 
  of 
  

   the 
  species 
  in 
  (juestion 
  are 
  Bornean, 
  and 
  Orthotomus 
  ruficeps 
  is 
  a 
  Bor- 
  

   nean 
  species, 
  but 
  so 
  long 
  as 
  there 
  is 
  not 
  more 
  difference 
  between 
  them 
  

   and 
  their 
  nearest 
  riiilippine 
  allies 
  than 
  exists 
  between 
  the 
  Philii)pine 
  

   species 
  inter 
  se, 
  I 
  fail 
  to 
  see 
  that 
  any 
  very 
  satisfactory 
  conclusions 
  can 
  

   be 
  drawn 
  from 
  them. 
  I 
  propose, 
  therefore, 
  to 
  assign 
  them 
  to 
  Table 
  IV, 
  

   which 
  inclndes 
  those 
  Palawan 
  species 
  with 
  allies 
  not 
  only 
  in 
  Borneo 
  or 
  

   western 
  Indo-Malaya, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  Philippines 
  as 
  well, 
  and 
  which 
  hence 
  

   furnish 
  us 
  with 
  evidence 
  of 
  doubtful 
  value.
