In electromagentic spectrum, though text books gives boundary values of frequency for different parts of spectrum, there is no sharp boundary of frequecy bewteen the two sucessive kind of electromagnetic waves. 
Actually X-rays frequency rage is 1016 Hz to 5×1019Hz, where as Gamma rays frequency strats from 1019 Hz .
Hence in the frequency region of 1019 Hz both gamma rays and X-rays overlap each other.
