This bird certainly agrees better with C 7»acroun/s than with C. maeronrus 

 cp/eii'iisis, which was received from Wetter (Nof. Zool. 10ri4. p. 2ii2). I come, 

 however, to the conclusion that C. macrourus, manilensis and celebensis arc all 

 three only subspecies, and should therefore be called Capr. macrourus macrourus, 

 C. m. mariileHsis and C. m. cclebi'iisis, while on ('eylon we have C. m. atripcrinis, 

 farther nortli C m. amhiguus, C. m. alhonotatus, and C. m. nipalcnsis.

55. Muscicapula hyperythra audacis subsp. nov. 



rT. Similar to ^1/". Inipcrythra lii/pcri/thra in general appearance, but larger, 

 especially the bill much longer, the metatarsus longer, wing longer. The inner 

 edges to the qnills are lighter, more whitish, the under wing-coverts have more 

 buflfy-white colour. Wing 03-7— 65-4, tail about 42 — 45, cnlmen 14 — 14-5, 

 metatarsus about 20 mm. (Type <? ad. No. 0804, Tepa, G. ix. 1905). " Iris 

 brown, blackish, or wliitish yellow." This last statement, however, is probably 

 erroneous. " Feet pale plumbeous, dull black, blackish ; bill black."
