E. LÖNNBERG, BIRDS FROM EASTERN CONGO. 11 



only very little lilac at the margin. In other respects the 

 difference is not worth speaking of, although perhaps the 

 shades of colour might be nained a little differently in the 

 female tlian in the male. 



Length of wing 198 mm., thus very little less than in 

 the male (200). 



This species is evidently a denizen of the dark primeval 

 forest 1 in a still higher degree than Coluwha arqualrix as it 

 has löst the white spols and thus becomes still darker. With 

 the exception of the whitish nape it must no doubt appear 

 quite black in the darkness of the forest.
