I have a couple of specimens somewhat resembling 

 the figure of Drymoica chiniana as given by Smith (111. 

 of Zool. of S. Afr. Aves, pi. 79) ; they were obtained in 

 the neighbourhood of the Okavango. 



[These remarks of Mr. Andersson's were probably intended 

 to apply to the present species, which is nearly allied to D. 

 chiniana, Smith, but has been recently described as distinct 

 by Drs. Finscli and Hartlaub {loc. cit.) from a pair which were 

 sent to me by Mr. Andersson in 1859, and which are now 

 preserved in the Bremen Museum. This species has not been 

 figui'ed. — Ed.]
