 feathers of the wing are reddish brown^ not dark brown, and 

 lack the olive tinge. ,

We found this new Crateropus on the Upper White Volta 

 River, frequenting the thick undergrowth by the banks. In 

 habits it resembles other members of the genus, but, unlike 

 C. platycercus, is not found in the open country. Through- 

 out the breeding-season it is met with in small parties.
