708 MANUAL OF PHILIPPINE BIRDS. 
“Guillemard thought his Cagayan Sulu specimens to be of the same 
species with those from Sulu, though he mentions the lack of frontal 
plumes in the former. Dr. Shagge has shown that the Sulu-Tawi Tawi 
birds must be referred to C. Dorneensis, and if Guillemard was right 
in believing the Cagayan Sulu birds to be identical with those from Sulu, 
C. pectoralis must be excluded from the list of Philippine birds. 
“Five males from Sulu average: Length, 284; wing, 150; tail, 132; 
culmen, 35; tarsus, 24; middle toe with claw, 26. Hight females, length, 
273; wing, 149; tail, 123; culmen, 32.5; tarsus, 23 ; middle toe with claw, 
24. Iris chocolate-brown to dark red; bill, legs, feet, and nails black. 
Food insects.” (Bourns and Worcester MS.)

Tablas (Bourns and Worcester, Celestino) . 
Adult.—Very similar in colors to C. palawanensis, but distinguished 
from that and all other Philippine species of the genus by the extremely 
long and very deeply forked tail. A male in worn plumage measures: 
Length, 355; wing, 141; tail (chord of longest feather), 187; bill from 
nostril, 22.5; depth of bill at nostril, 11; tarsus, 25; difference in length 
between the middle and outermost rectrices, 73; distance between tips of 
outermost rectrices, 120. 
“Average measurements of nine males: Length, 336; culmen, 34.7; 
wing, 137; tail, 175; tarsus, 25. Of seven females: Length, 327; cul- 
men, 34.7; wing, 136; tail, 168; tarsus, 26. This curious species is by 
far the largest representative of its genus yet discovered in the Philippine 
Islands, and differs strikingly from both the other known species, one 
of which is confined to Palawan and the Calamianes Islands, while the 
other occurs in the Sulu Group and in Cagayan Sulu. C. menagei seems 
to be strictly confined to the Island of Tablas where it is not rare in 
the deep woods.” (Bourns and Worcester.) 
“Tris very dark brown; bill, legs, feet, and nails black. Food insects.” 
(Bourns and Worcester MS.) 
Genus BHUCHANGA Hodgson, 1836. 
Tail deeply forked and slightly shorter than wing; rectrices much 
narrower than in either Dicrurus or Chibia, the outermost pair slightly 
upturned at tips. Prevailing colors of plumage blue-gray and cinereous.
