T he genus Zosterops is one which it is extremely difficult to place. It has external and superficial characters which would seem to ally it with many other families, but these are accompanied by so many other contradictory characters,—at least, in so far as our Oriental species are concerned,—that it appears advisable to place the genus in a family by itself.
