tween Myiagra and Muscipeta ; possessing, in 
other respects, much more of the characters of the 
former than of the latter. 
General colour of the upper plumage light c ceru- 
lean-blue, which spreads uniformly oyer all the 
exposed parts of the wing and tail-feathers; the 
under parts are lighter and tinged with grey, which 
becomes almost white on the belly and vent ; the 
covered portions of the tail and quill-feathers are 
blackish ; the bristles of the mouth are strong, and 
are two-thirds the length of the bill, which, with 
the feet, are blackish. Of this rare species we have 
never seen a second example. 
Total length, 7 inches ; bill, gape, T 6 „ ; front, T 4 5 ; 
wings, 2 I 7 C) ; tail, base, 3 j ; tarsus, T 6 S . 
That the foregoing outline of the circle of Myiagra 
is founded on some solid basis, will appear more 
probable when we compare the species, here named 
as constituting types of form, with those of the long- 
tailed Muscipetw and with the divisions of the en- 
tire genus.
