Birds of Celebes: Muscicapidae. 
Meyer, Platen, Weber, the Sarasins, Everett, Doherty etc. Teijsmann 
visited Saleyer, hut we do not know that he was ever on Djampea or Kalao. 
Mr. Hartert’s male from Kalao was found to be identical with Teijsmann’s 
specimens by Mr. Biittikofer.

Description. Biittikofer 1. 
Adult. Crown, sides of bead, nock 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 witli cinnamon; chin and upper throat 
pure white; a rather narrow black bar across the chest; under parts cinnamon; 
pale wliitish fulvous on middle of breast and abdomen; under wing-coverts 
fulvous; quills below very broadly edged on the inside with viiiaceous. 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 hir. Biittikofer’s description by having the breast 
below the black jugular collar greyish olive, in the middle inclining to buff, and only 
about the tei'minal fourth of the tail is dull sepia or blackish (o’, Loka, S. Oeh, 6. 
X. 95: P. & E. Sarasin). 
Young. More suffused with cimramon-red than the adult, esiiecially 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 (cf Loka, 10. XL 95: P. & F. S.). 
Distribution. South Peninsula of Celebes — (?) Macassar (Teijsmann J), Mt. Bonthain 
(Weber 2, Everett 5, P. & F. Sarasin, Doherty 4). 
This Flycatcher was recently described by Mr. Biittikofer after a single 
specimen obtained by Teijsmann and labelled at Macassar (but in all probability 
from the mountains); and tw'o others killed at Loka, 4000 feet, were subse- 
quently sent to the Leyden Museum by Prof. 'VVeber. In the Loka neigh- 
bourhood it was found by the Sarasins, Everett and Doherty. It appears 
to be a very distinct species. Mr. Biittikofer 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
