Ohs. When Dr. Hartlaub described his Andropadiis erytliropterus 

 from a specimen in the Museum collection, the series there was so 

 small that the bird might well have been taken for a distinct species. 

 Kow, however, the series shows every gradation from youthful 

 plumage to that of maturity, the rufous wings being accompanied by 

 a pale bill and dusky-olive abdomen and under wing-coverts. As the 

 bird gets adult the plumage becomes more olive, the bill is Wackish 

 brown, and the under wing-coverts and the abdomen brighter olive- 

 yellow. 



The Small Green Bulbul is an inhabitant of the entire forest-region 

 of Western Africa, from Seuegambia to the Congo.
