Tbis bird occurs occasionally in collections imported from 

 Babia. I bave two adult and one young specimen, the latter 

 agreeing well witb the figures of the supposed S. undulatus.

This species is rather divergent in structure from its fel- 

 lows, having a stronger bill, longer and thicker tarsi, and a 

 longer hind toe and claw. When I first obtained specimens 

 of it in one of Verreaux's Napo collections, I proposed to 

 refer it to a new genus and species, Agathopus microptei'us.
