Adult. Similar to T. Hvingstoni, but distinguished from it and 

 from T. sclmhu'i by having the crest-feathers more evenly graduated 

 as in T. corytludw, and the back and wings bluer than the tail. 

 Total length 17'7 inches, culmen 1, wing 7"1, tail 7*8. 



Hah. Nguru Mountains, East Africa. 



This species I have not seen, and I greatly doubt its distinctness 

 from the true T. Hvinrjstoni.
