 No. 973. 



(P. m. cinereigula was described by Sharpe from an aberrant male, while 

 typical specimens were united with P. montanus, described from Sumatra by 

 Salvadori. Thus really cinereigula is not better than wrayi and croceus, which 

 were both named by Sharpe from aberrant montanus from the Malay Peninsula. 

 But, while I cannot separate Malay Peninsula and Sumatra specimens (cf. 

 Robinson, Journ. Fed. Mai. States Mus. ii. p. 78, 1907), those from Borneo are 

 not quite the same, all the males having entirely black central rectrices, while 

 in P. m. montanus from the mountains of Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula they 

 show more or less red ; the Bornean form therefore becomes P. m. cinereigula, 

 although originally named under an erroneous impression.)
