Birds of Celebes; Muscicapidae. 
Djampea race like the male of that of Saleyer and the mainland of Celebes. 
The females of these birds seem to show a lower organisation in this genus, 
the males a more advanced stage; if this be so, S. hanyumas is obviously indi- 
cated as the ancestral form of S. djampeana and the latter of kolaoensis. See, 
pp. 160—169, Loriculiis.

Figure and descriptions. Walden all] Wallace a 1] Sharpe 2. 
Adult male. Dark ashy blue; throat and breast bright rufous, hecoming pale on the helly 
and pure white on the under tail-coverts; front of the eye and ear-coverts blackish; 
under wing-coverts rufescent white; quills and tail-feathers dusky, ashy-margined ; iris 
dark; hill hlack; feet nearly white (Wall, a 1). 
Total length 132 mm; wing 69; tail 57; tarsus 16.5; culmen 11.4 (Sh. 2). 
Female. Yery different from the male: hrown above, and without the black face. Upper 
parts grey-olive, greyest on head, brightening into brownish chestnut on the upper 
tail-coverts and outer edges of the rectrices; wing-coverts and quills dusky with 
warmer brown tips and edges; lores, orbital region, chin, throat, and breast 
orange-rufous, paler on chin and throat; cheeks and ear-coverts darker, passing posteri- 
orly into the grey-olive of the nape; abdomen and under tail-coverts white; 
sides and thighs olivaceous; under wing-coverts brown-buff: bill dark brown; legs, 
feet, and claws yellowish in the skin. Wing 60 mm; tail 40; tarsus 17; bill from 
nostril 8 (Q, Mapane, Centr. Cel. 28. H. 95: Sarasin Coll.). 
Mr. Hartert was so good as to compare this specimen with those at Tring 
and to confirm its identity. 
Distribution. Celebes: Minahassa — Manado (Wallace a 1, 2)\ Mapane, southern shore of 
the Gulf of Tomini (P. & F. Sarasin 5); Macassar (Doherty 4). 
For thirty years a single male specimen of this species in the British 
Museum was the only one definitely known, then a female was obtained in 
Central Celebes by the cousins Sarasin, and latterly a male and a female in 
the Southern Peninsula by Doherty. About the same time a pair and a male 
of a bird much resembling the female of 8. rufigula were sent by Everett and 
Doherty from the Peak of Bonthain to the Tring Museum, and Mr. Hartert 
soon became aware that he had to do with a lowland and a mountain species. 
The differences of G. honthaina from the female of 8. rufigula are recapitulated 
from Hartert’s notes in the next article; the male of 8. rufigula looks quite 
different by reason of its blackish lores and ear-coverts and dark ashy blue 
upper parts.
