GENUS RHIPIDURA. 97 
Mill. & Schl., and two others, presented by von Rosen- 
berg, all five specimens from Timor. 
Upper surface gray, head black with a white patch 
above the eye, chin and throat white, feathers of the 
chest gray at the basal half, and so largely tipped with 
white that hardly any gray can be seen except on the 
sides of the chest on which the feathers are less tipped 
with white, breast, flanks, abdomen and under tail-coverts 
pale fulvous, tail black, outer web of first pair white 
nearly up to the base, inner web as well as the whole 
second pair tipped with white at more than an inch in 
length, the third pair with a narrow white tip near the shaft. 
69. Rhipidura javanica (Sparrm.). 
Eight specimens from Java, two from Sumatra, two 
from Banka, three from southern Borneo and a not fully 
adult specimen from » Indes orientales”. 
This is the only large-billed form with uniform gray 
chest, having the four outermost pairs of tail-feathers 
tipped with white. The immature female is much paler 
brown than the adult and has the wing-coverts broadly 
tipped with fulvous. The chest-band is very narrow and, 
even as the sides of the breast, earthy brown instead 
of gray. 
70. Rhipidura pectoralis (Jerdon). 
An adult male from the Indian Continent. 
71. Rhipidura nigritorquis Vigors. 
Five specimens from the Philippines and the Sulu Ar- 
chipelago. 
This large white-throated species is easily recognized 
by its very narrow black chest-band and having all but 
the innermost pair of tail-feathers broadly tipped with white.
