CYORNIS. 437 
“Adult female.—Kven more different from the female of 8. 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 gray, and sharply defined from the bright rust-colored throat. 
Length, 134; 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.
