Description. Biittikofer 1. 
Adult. Crown, sides of bead, neck and upper part of mantle olive-brown; 
forehead, back, rump, flanks, thighs, upper and under tail-coverts and 
basal two-thirds of all the tail-feathers cinnamon-red; terminal third of 
tail sepia-brown, fringed towards the tip with cinnamon- red, and tipped with ashy 
fulvous, most broadly on the outermost feathers; upper wing-coverts sepia-brown, 
edged with olive-brown; primaries sepia-brown, secondaries olive-brown, the exposed 
webs of all, except first primary, fringed with cinnamon; chin and upper throat 
pure white; a rather narrow black bar across the chest; under parts cinnamon; 
pale whitish fulvous on middle of breast and abdomen; under wing-coverts 
fulvous; quills below very broadly edged on the inside with vinaceous. Bill blackish, 
whitish at base; feet pale brown. Wing 69 mm; middle tail-feathers 80, outermost 
60; tarsus 19; bill from front 12 (ex Biittik. 1). “Iris very dark chestnut-brown; 
feet pale purplish; beak blackish, pale at base of mandible” (Doherty 4). 
An adult male differs from Mr. Biittikofer’s description by having the breast 
below the black jugular collar greyish olive, in the middle inclining to buff, and only 
about the terminal fourth of the tail is dull sepia or blackish ((^, Loka, S. Cel., 6. 
X. 95: P. & E. Sarasin). 
Young. More suffused with cinnamon-red than the adult, especially on the outer edges of 
the wings and on the flanks. Black jugular collar absent; the cinnamon-red loral 
patch nearly absent; under parts darker cinnamon, stained with brown on the breast; 
chin and throat greyish white ((Y Loka, 10. XI. 95: P. & E. S.). 
Distribution. South Peninsula of Celebes — (?) Macassar (Teijsmann 1), Mt. Bonthain 
(Weber 2, Everett 5, P. & E. Sarasin, Doherty 4). 
This Flycatcher wms recently described by Mr. Buttikofer after a single 
specimen obtained by Teijsmann and labelled at Macassar (but in all probability 
from the mountains); and two others killed at Loka, 4000 feet, were subse- 
quently sent to the Leyden Museum by Prof. Weber. In the Loka neigh- 
bourhood it was found by the Sarasins, Everett and Doherty. It appears 
to be a very distinct species. Mr. Buttikofer remarks that ”R. rufifrons from 
Australia may be considered its nearest ally. From this latter as well as from 
the other species of the group [with forehead, back, and base of tail cinnamon- 
red], it differs principally in the red of the basal part of the tail being much 
more widely distributed, fully occupying the basal two-thirds and being as plainly
