66 VISCOtJNT "WALDEN ON THE BIEDS OE CELEBES. 



77. Hiriwdo javanica, Sparrman, Mus. Carls, pi. 100, "Java" (1789). 

 Hab. Indo-Malayan region. 



Mr. Wallace informs me that he found this species common at Macassar, " building 

 its mud nests in verandas in the town." 



MUSCICAPID^E. 



Ctornis, Blyth. 



78. CroEins rufigula, Wallace, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 476, " Menado." (PL VII. fig. 3.) 

 Hab. Menado [Wallace). 



Mtialestes, Keichenbach. 



79. Mtialestes helianthea [(Wallace), P. Z. S. 1865, p. 476, « Menado. (PI. VII. 



fig. 1.) 



Hab. Menado {Wallace). 



This is a representative form of M. cinereocapilla (Vieill.), differing from that species 

 by wanting the ashy head, nape, throat, and breast of the Indian bird. The head is 

 subcrested. 



Htpothtmis, Boie. 



80. Htpothtmis puella (Wallace), P. Z. S. 1862, p. 340, " Sula Islands and Celebes." 



(P. VII. fig. 2.) 



Hab. Sula Islands and Celebes {Wallace). 



The azure Flycatchers form a natural section consisting of several very closely allied 

 species, which have yet to be worked out. The group is characteristic of the Indian as 

 distinguished from the Australian region ; and Boie's generic title is here adopted in 

 preference to classing M. azurea, Bodd., and its allies with the Australian Myiagra 

 rubeculoides, Vig. & Horsf., and its allied species. 



81. Htpothtmis manadensis (Quoy et Gaimard), Voy. Astrol. Zool. i. p. 176, " Menado " 



(1830), pi. 3. fig. 3. 



Hab. Menado {Quoy et Gaim.). 



Prince Bonaparte (Coll. Delattre, p. 81) refers this form to Hypothymis, where I 

 place it with doubt, being unacquainted with the species. 



Butalis hypogrammica, Wallace, Ibis, 1862, p. 350, is recorded from Celebes by Mr. 

 G. B. Gray (Hand-list, no. 4814). Mr. Wallace cannot assure me positively that it 

 occurs in that island. But as it is a summer visitant in China, and was obtained in 

 Ceram and Morty Island by Mr. Wallace, it is not unlikely to be a winter resident in 

 Celebes. Hemichelidon griseosticta, Swinhoe, is undoubtedly the same species; and 

 that title takes precedence (Ibis, 1861, p. 330).
