CYOKMIS. 437 



"Adult female. — Even more different from the female of S. pallidipes: 

 the lores are rust-colored instead of white^ and a short superciliary band 

 of the same color reaches as far as the eye, above this there is a line of 

 pale blue feathers, confluent across the forehead; the basal part of the 

 outer webs of the tail-feathers washed with pale blue instead of reddish 

 chestnut. Sides of the face dark brown, shading gradually into the rust- 

 colored throat, whereas in the female of S. pallidipes the sides of the 

 head are gra}^, and sharply defined from the bright rust-colored throat. 

 Length, 13-i; culmen, 16; wing, 74; tail, 55; tarsus, 18." (Grant.) 



I have not seen the description of Cyornis herioti so have quoted 

 Grant's description of Siphia enganensis which is the same species. It is 

 evident that we have here a type differing from all the other Philippine 

 species of the genus. The male may be recognized by the blue throat 

 and breast. Heriot's flycatcher is either very rare, or is confined to 

 northern Luzon where it may prove to be abundant.
