124. SIPHIA DJAMPEANA Hart. 
Djampea Blue-and-rufous Flycatcher. 
Plate XIV. 
Siphia djampeana Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1896, 172. ■ 
Male. Differs from S. hanyumas from Java, Celebes and Saleyer by having the upper throat 
white where it meets the black of the chin and suhmalar region, the black here 
almost untinged with blue and broader than in S. hanyumas ad. Djampea, Dec. 
1895: Everett, C. 14868). 
Female. Like the male, but the white on the throat almost completely absent ($ vix ad. 
Djampea, Dec. 95: Everett, 0 14869). 
Measurements. Wing 78 — 81 mm; tail 67 — 69; tarsus 18 — 19; culmen 17 (Hartert). 
Distribution. Djampea Island between Celebes and Flores (Everett). 
This is one of the numerous additions made by Mr. Everett to the avi- 
fauna of the Celebesian Province in the latter months of 1895. A good series 
of specimens was obtained. The most curious point about the bird seems to 
be that the female is much like the male, or still more like the male of Siphia 
hanyumas, from which it is not easily distinguished. The female of /S', hanyumas 
is a simpler bird. Altogether S. djampeana seems to present a more advanced 
stage of evolution. 
f * 125. SIPHIA KALAOENSIS Hart. 
Kalao Blue-and-rufous Flycatcher. 
Plate XIV. 
Siphia kalaoensis Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1896, 172. 
Male. Above like S. djampeana and hanyumas, from which it differs by having the breast 
and middle of the throat white. The abdomen is pale orange-rufous, whiter on the 
under tail-coverts. The hlack on the chin and sides of throat broad, and slightly 
tinged with blue ((f, Kalao, Dec. 1895: Everett, C 14899). 
Female. “Like the male, except that the hreast is strongly washed with orange-rufons and 
that the under tail-coverts are coloured like the abdomen. The female is, therefore, 
practically indistinguishahle from the male of S. djampeana, but the breast is paler” 
(Hartert). 
Measurements. Wing 76 — 78 mm; tail 65 — 68; tarsus 19 — 20; culmen 16 — 17. The female 
is a little smaller, wing 72 mm (Hartert). Mr. Hartert evidently measures the tail 
from its extreme base; Ave take it from the oil-gland, which gives a result of about 
8 mm less for this sjDecies. 
Distribution. Kalao Island heCveen Celebes and Flores (Everett). 
This is an interesting species. Mr. Hartert draws attention to the increase 
in white on the under parts of the Flycatchers from Celebes and Saleyer as they 
range to Djampea and Kalao. It is greatest in the male of Kalao, the female 
of the Kalao race is like the male of the Djampea race, the female of the
