DUTCH BORNEO-EXPEDITION, 27 
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. affinis, which latter 
species seems to be restricted to Java.

Arachnothera robusta S. Mull. & Schleg. Verh. Nat. Gesch. p. 68, 
1) This species is said by Miiller & 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.
