and the Muscicapa inornata, Garn., is the young stage of the same, 

 differing from the adult in the reddish colour of the outer edgings 

 of the remiges. Under the name of M. fulviventris Hartlaub has 

 described a specimen from the Echiquier group, with the abdomen 

 rather pale, exactly like others from the other localities mentioned 

 above.

This species is allied to R. rufifrons (Lath.) from Australia, from 

 which it differs in having the forehead black in the middle and 

 white on the sides ; the tail is grey, white-tipped, and with scarcely 

 any reddish colour near the base. S. Miiller described this species 

 with the tail brown-black, instead of grey ; and this mistake 

 made me believe that the bird from Waigiou, described by me, was 

 different.

The sexes are exactly alike. 



The types in the Museum of Leyden are marked "Borneo," which 

 is a mistake ; Bonaparte has given the exact locality. 



This species has a very extensive range ; I have seen specimens 

 from Banda, Ceram-laut, Mysol, Salvatty, Waigiou, Mafor, Ternate, 

 Dammar, Mareh, Motir, and Tifore. It is not quite certain that 

 the bird described by Von Pelzeln (/. c.) was really from the Aru 

 Islands.
