1 Stresemann (1931) seems to be the first to recognize this, or a closely 
allied form of Zosterops in Borneo, and refers some skins from the mountains 
of West Sarawak to buxtoni. We have recently examined some skins from 
the lowlands near Kuching. The specimens are old and faded. They are, 
dearly, not media j but seem nearer to wiltiamsoni than to buxtoni. Here, 
for the moment, the matter must rest. 
3 The affinities of this form seem to be with Zosterops citrinella { vide 
Cbasen, Bull. Kafifies Mus. 8, 1933, p. 84)-
