No. 599. S ad. River Ja, May 30, 1904. Testes rather 

 large. 



Compared with the type from the Ogowe River (wing 

 7*6 in.) this specimen seems to be rather small (wing 6'6). 

 In other dimensions also it seems to be a little less, having 

 the culmen 1*4 (type 1*6), tail 93 (type 11'7), tarsus 17 

 (type 2'0). The total length of the type-specimen is 

 22*5 inches, while that of the Ja River bird is 17*6. 



This species is apparently now recorded from Camaroon 

 for the first time.

[This bird was only seen in the small trees of some ground 

 which was returning to forest, near the village, and there 

 generally in the fruit-trees : the stomach invariably contained 

 fruit. The iris is nearly white, and the naked skin round 

 the eye yellowish white.]
