With great recjard for the opinion.s of Messrs. Distant 

 and de Niceville, I have little doubt this, with 

 PhociJcs, Fab., and Arccn, Feld., all represent one 

 rather variable species. In one specimen I have, 

 from Ceylon, the blue in apical region of secondaries 

 is restricted to a mere marginal line, only just 

 perceptible ; in a Cape York example the blue 

 patch is as broad as long, and nearly touches apical 

 angle, the underside of both being exactly alike, 

 and nearly as dark as in Horsefield's iigure. The 

 development of the white area in secondaiies of 

 ■^ , and the lighter or darker shading of the under- 

 side, is so variable as to be quite unreliable for 

 specific distinction.
