170 FLYCATCHER. 



quills dusky, with cinereous edges; tail black ; the two outer feathers 

 pale ash-colour at the tips, and the two middle ones wholly so, with 

 blackish ends. 



Inhabits Madagascar, known there by the name of Kinki-manou. 

 In the PI. enlum. the tail seems cuneiform, at least the outer feather 

 is much shorter than the rest. We have followed the sentiments of

 remark, that it appears to have much of the habit of a Chatterer.

Inhabits the Cape of Good Hope ; it seems somewhat to resemble 

 the last species, but differs materially in the shape of the tail, and 

 the feathers of it are equal in length.
