 [Sandakan, May 23, 18S7. ^ r ^ s dark brown ; bill and eyelids deep 

 purplish blue. Rather uncommon in the regions visited. While dashing 

 about after insects it is very conspicuous (the male) on account of its 

 light colors against the "dark background of tropical foliage. As it 

 describes graceful curves during its flight, the long feathers of the tail 

 make it appear as an animated pennant. — C. F. A.]
