tint than the back. Iris dark brown ; bill black ; legs 

 purplish, with pale claws. Total length 7*0 in. ; wing 

 3-75 in.

 being considerably larger and in having the neck-spot of the 

 same cobalt-blue as in the male. Wing 3*5 in. 



This fine Flycatcher was first obtained by Pere David at 

 Kuatun in north-western Fohkien. It appears, so far as we 

 know, to be confined to the range of mountains which 

 separates Fohkien from Kiangsi^ and inhabits the higher 

 summits of those mountains. It is a rare bird, and very 

 few examples have come under my notice.
