in no way from typical Formosan specimens, and these 
localities should therefore be added [cf. Sharpe, Hand-l. B.

Pericrocotus cinereus Swinh. Ibis, 1863, p. 263. 
According to Swinhoe, this Minivet occurs in Formosa on 
migration ; he once saw asmall flock on the 5th of September

The Brown Flycatcher visits Formosa on migration. 
Swinhoe was no doubt mistaken in calling it a “summer 
visitant.” 
103. Muscricapa GrisEisticra (Swinh.), 
Hemichelidon griseisticta Swinh. Ibis, 18638, p. 262. 
Like the last species, this Flycatcher no doubt only visits 
Formosa on migration and is not a summer visitant.

This Blue Flycatcher is peculiar to the mountains of 
Formosa. The closely allied but larger form from Tenasserim 
has now been separated under the name C. oatesi (Salvad.). 
The males are much alike, except in size; but the females of 
the latter are, as a rule, much more olive and less grey on the 
upper parts than is the case in Formosan specimens.
