20. Monarcha buruensis A. B. Meyer. 

 One single adult male of this very rare flycatcher was obtained by W. Doherty 

 at Kayeli in March 1897. Its iris was found to be brown, feet dark slaty blue, 

 bill blue, tip darker, more blackish brown, cutting edges whitish. 



30. Monarcha loricatus Wall. 

 A large series from Kayeli (Doherty) and several from Mount Mada (Dumas). 

 Both sexes are alike, black and white when adult, but the female is much smaller. 

 Wing of males 89 to 90, oi females 83 to 85 mm. The young of both sexes are 

 brown above, rusty brown below, lateral rectrices rusty buff with greyish edges, 

 central blackish. Iris of young deep brown ; feet dark slaty blue ; bill pale blue ; 

 extreme tip blackish. In the Key species, Monarcha leuearas, the sexes are also 

 alike in colour, and the birds with rnfous undersurface are the young of both sexes. 

 The adult of M. leucarus resembles the M. loricatus very much, but the cheeks and 

 sides of neck are white in the latter, black in the former. 



31. Monarcha inomatus (Garn.) 

 One single &i\.vli female, with the grey upperside and foreneck rather light, was

 recorded from Buru.

with brown on the upperside, and considerably smaller. Wing of the male 87 to 90,

 coverts and remiges, the young has the feathers of the chest tipped with buff instead 

 of largely spotted with white.
