* Eleven topotypes of “vermiculata” seem absolutely inseparable from 
thirty new skins of bomeensis from Mt. Kinabalu. As in other birds of this 
group new skins are slightly more olive and rusty in colour than older 
specimens, and very old skins are useless for comparison. Some dated 1899 
are altered beyond all subspecific recognition.
