H. wrayt the male is usually greyish blue), and in the slightly 
smaller size and more olive, less rufous tint of the upper 
surface. 
Both sexes of the present species have the extreme bases 
of the feathers above the eye white, forming a short concealed 
superciliary streak. 
Salvadori has described from a single female obtained on 
Singgalang by Beccaria species Brachypteryx flaviventris, which 
is characterised as being brown above, with an obsolete super- 
ciliary streak of y alilowsish and with the inferior surface yellow- 
ish, the abdomen brighter, wing 50 mm. 
The Korinchi bird, cannot, however, be referred to 
Salvadori’s species as no specimen has any trace of yellow in 
the plumage, while the wing ranges from 57-61 mm., and the 
tail does not as a rule exceed 4o. Salvadori gives 50 mm. 
as the length of his.
