 decidedly small^ as were all those procured by Dr. von Ma-

 of birds obtained by Colonel Henry P. Northcott atGarabaga 

 and in the Colony of the Gold Coast. The following is 

 a list of the species met with by Colonel Northcott, to which 

 are added references to the pages of Prof. Reichenow's well- 

 known paper on the adjoining country of Togoland (" Zur 

 A^ogelfauna von Togo/' J. f. O. 1897, pp. 1^57) :—
