* Jardine and Selby have described a TrichopJmrns fephroqenys from " India " 

 (HI. Oi-n. pi. 127), which Sir W. Jardine afterwards thought was the same as 

 Swainson's T. gularU, as he had meanwhile admitted to liave received it from 

 Sierra Leone. Hence Dr. Finsch replaced the name of gularis. Swains, (nee 

 Horsl'.), by that of tepkrogeny.t of Jijrdine and Selbj. "When I first got the 

 Fantee specimens I wrote to Sir W. Jardine and sent him an example to compare 

 with his type, and he informed me that my bird was not his T. tephrogenys, as, 

 indeed, it could scarcely be, considering that the latter is described as ' castan'eus.'
