[On comparing Mr. Jackson's series -with the type 

 specimen of D. coronatus from Gaboon, I am unable to 

 find any differences between them, and my L. castaneiceps, 

 founded on two young birds, must be suppressed. 



The female is similar in colour to the male, and a pair 

 measure as follows : — 



? . Total length 7-4, ciilmen 085, wing 3-1-, tail 2-9, 

 tarsus 1*2. 



c?. Total length 7-4, culmen 0-9, wing 3-45, tail 30, 

 tarsus 1-2.— R. B. S.]
