The Camaroon bird is everywhere more distinctly streaked 

 with black than the typical Gold-Coast form. On the under 

 surface the black streaks are very broad and extend to the 

 under tail-coverts. The conspicuous orange patch on the 

 sides of the neck in S. rujilateralis is absent in S. camarunensis , 

 these parts being merely rufescent, with broad longitudinal 

 centres of black. The head is slaty -black, with black centres 

 to the feathers.

This specimen was erroneously referred to Alseonax 

 epulata in my former paper ('Ibis/ 1904, p. 622), where I 

 described it as " spotted with sandy buff after the manner of 

 Flycatchers." Mr. Bates, however, assures me that it is 

 undoubtedly the young of Artomyias, and it is therefore of 

 great interest, as proving that this genus is truly Muscicapine 

 in its first plumage.

The nestling is a little rufous bird, with a sooty-black head 

 and under surface, lighter and somewhat greyer on the 

 abdomen.

 The nestling is very interesting. It is nearly like the 

 adults, but of a more greyish blue, mottled with sandy-buff
