Erannornis longicauda longicauda. 



Myiagra longicauda Swains, Monog. Flycatchers, 1838, p. 210, 

 pi. XXV : New Holland. 



vSpecimens of the Blue Flycatcher were obtained by Mr Kemp 

 at Agoulerie in July and by H. Robin at Abeokuta. 



From Northern Nigeria we bave examples in the British Muséum 

 from Illorin (Churchill), Shonga (W. A. Forbes), Danahaga 

 (Brocklebank) and Tarkum (B. Alexander), 



The races of this bird hâve been worked out by Sclater and 

 Praed (Ibis, [918, p. 712) whose conclusions I follow. They 

 recognise four forms, but E. l. schivarbischi Oustalet, described 

 from Franceville in the interior of Gaboon, is not represented in 

 the British Muséum collection. I cannot therefore pronounce any 

 opinion upon it. The other three races are represented from the 

 following localities : 



1. — Erannornis longicauda longicauda. 

 Cf. supra. . 



Distribution. — Gambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Northern 

 and Southern Nigeria. 



2. — Erannornis longicauda teresita. 



Elminia teresita Antinori, Cat. Uccelli, 1864, p. 50. — Djur, 

 Bahr-el-Ghazal. 



Distribution. — Bahr-el-Ghazal to Cameroon and Uganda, also 

 to Mount Elgon. 



Distinguishing characters. — Underside paler, white on the 

 belly.
