The proportion of blue, of bluish grey, and of pure white varies considerably among 
individuals (males) from the same locality. In some the lower breast and the whole 
abdominal region is pure white. In the others the entire breast and the abdomen is 
bluish grey. Again, the presence of the black nuchal patch and black gorget is not 
constant. In a Malabar male, in apparently otherwise full plumage, the black gorget 
is absent. A Ceylon male in brilliant azure plumage wants both the black nuchal 
patch and the gorget. A second specimen from that island also wants these characters. 
If constant in the Ceylon Hypothymis, this form will deserve specific separation. 
Examples from Maunbhoom, Garoo Hills, Tongoo, Moulmein, Malacca, Java, Flores, 
Banjarmassing, and the island of Negros perfectly agree with the only individual 
obtained by Dr. Meyer.

Hab. Manilla (Bonaparte). 
The short notice given of this species makes it difficult to identify. It is stated to be 
of small size as compared with B. grisola, and may prove to be Butalis latirostris 
(Raffles, Tr. Linn. Soc. xiii. p. 312), or else Butalis griseosticta (Swinh., Ibis, 1861, 
p- 330), both these migratory forms occurring in the Malay archipelago during the winter 
months.

The precise localities in the Philippines inhabited by this Flycatcher are not known. 
‘Treated as a distinct species by Bonaparte (Consp. p. 321), and united by Mr. G. R. Gray with the 
Philippine species. I have failed to find Swainson’s description. He merely refers to it (J.c.) as a recognized 
species additional to H. azurea.
