FLYCATCHER. 175 



It must be observed, that in Sonnerat's bird the tail seems at 

 least rounded at the end, if not strictly cuneiform ; hence it is possible 

 that some mistake may have occurred by the draughtsman, in respect 

 to that part in the Carlsonian JVIuseum, as it there appears forked. 

 In short, it seems so like the Flammeous Flycatcher in some of its 

 changes, that it is with difficulty we have kept the two separate. 



Both this and the last are found in various parts of the Cape of 

 Good Hope and India, as also China ; for I have observed many 

 drawings from both the latter places ; one name given to it in India 

 is Sukeesa lehen ; is observed to vary much, the rump in some mixed 

 grey and pale red ; lower part of the neck orange red ; breast and 

 belly pale oker yellow; thighs and vent white ; patch on the wings 

 rufous yellow. This called at Ajineabed, Suda Sohagee. 



In Lord Valentia's drawings is one, answering to the Malabar 

 Titmouse, with a longish, brown, rounded tail, having a ferruginous 

 tinge near the end, quite to the tip. The name given to this in 

 Oude, is Sukkhy. A bird, apparently a female, and scarcely five 

 inches long, flew on board a ship, between the coast of Africa and 

 the Island of Madeira, perhaps a young one, as no mention was 

 made of red on the rump. 



29.— CINNAMON FLYCATCHER. 



Motacilla cinnamomea, Lin. i. 335. Gm. Lin. i. 9S5. 



Muscicapa flammea, Lid. Orn. ii. 474. 23. jS. 



Cinnamon Warbler, Gen. Syn. iv. 447. Shaic's Zool. x. 410. 



THIS is said by Linnaeus to be like the Red-tailed Warbler ; 

 the upper parts of the body hoary ; throat black ; breast, belly, and 

 rump, crimson ; quills black ; the four first red at the base, forming- 

 in one sex a spot on that part ; tail black, the four middle feathers 

 obliquely rufous on the sides.
