On comparing the Ceylonese Busty Flycatcher, several 
examples of which I possess, with specimens of Alseonax 
ferrugineus in the British Museum, 1 find that it is quite dis¬ 
tinct from the latter hird ; and as Mr. Sharpe informs me 
thfit it is not known at present from any other locality but 
Ceylon, it must be returned to the list of birds peculiar to 
the island, among which it was originally placed, when de¬ 
scribed by Layard. I cannot but think, however, that it has 
some other habitat besides Ceylon; for it appears to me to be 
migratory to that place, inasmuch as I have only observed 
it during the cool season—October to March*. Layard^s 
* Layard, however, got his specimen in June at St. Pedro, which mili¬ 
tates against my theory.
