386 Mr. R. 13. Sharpe on Collections of 



t82, IspiDiNA LEUCOGASTRA (Fras.) ; Sharpe^ Monogr. Al- 

 ced. pt. iv. 



One specimen. In the fourth part of my ' Monograph ' will 

 be found a figure and description of this rare species, with full 

 synonymy; but the locality should be strictly " Fantee/' not 

 " Ashantee/' as the bird was sent me by Mr. Whitely before we 

 were aware of the precise spot where the collection had been 

 formed. 



83. IsPiDiNA PiCTA (Bodd.) ; Sharpe, Monogr. Alced. pt. iv. 



In the collection sent me by Mr. Whitely was a young bird, 

 which differed slightly from the usual young /. picta ; and 

 shortly after, I found an old bird in Mr. Higgins^s collection. 

 These birds differ from all the other specimens of /. picta that 

 I have seen, in their smaller size, deep rufous breasts, and also 

 in having a very distinct ultramarine lustre on the cheeks and 

 ear-coverts. Nevertheless I must see a larger series before I 

 can consider it distinct, but I think it just possible that it may 

 be the bird supposed by Cassin to be the I. nitida of Dr. Kaup. 

 The true /. nitida is nothing more than the young I. natalensis 

 (A. Smith) ; and a figure of the type-specimen, which is in the 

 British Museum, will be given in my * Monograph.'
