Range. Lower Congo. 



1. Psammocrex petiti. 



Psammocrex petiti, Oustalet, Le Nat. ii. p. 509 (1884). 



Female. Forehead and eyebrows ashy grey ; chin white ; throat 

 and sides of neck yellowish ; the feathers of the hack tinged with 

 reddish black and ashy grey, the breast with fulvous and ashy : bill 

 bluish ; feet rosy flesh-colour ; iris reddish. Total length 17 inches, 

 bill 3"4o, wing 8'85, tail 4-1, tarsus 3-15, middle toe without claw 

 1-85. (Oustalet.) 



Hah. Landana, Lower Congo. 



* I followed Dr. Oustalet in placing this genu8 near to Gallicrex, as I had 

 never seen the bird. Mr. Keulemans, however, has recently made a sketch of 

 the type for me, and it is evident that Psammocrex petiti is Himantornis hama- 

 topus {supra, p. G9), an identification in which Dr. Oustalet, I believe, concurs.
