The oceurrence of this sjDecies at Casamanse and Sene- 

 gambia is fairly open to doubt. The figure referred to this 

 bird by Rochebrune (/. c.) cannot apply to this species, for it 

 differs in having the upper back red, like the rump, instead 

 of grey, and the lower mandible pink instead of slaty grey. 

 If it is a correct picture, the specimen from which it was 

 taken must belong to a species new to science.
