Our friend H. von Berlepsch, writing of this bird, of which 

 he obtained a specimen from Whitely^s collection, suggested 

 the name which we gladly adopt in recognition of Mr. Sclater's 

 useful monograph of this intricate genus (Ibis, 1881, p. 293 

 et seqq.) . The bird itself is evidently allied to H. muscicapinus , 

 but differs in many small characters.
