The male specimen from the Eiver Ja, Camaroon, referred 

 by Dr. Sharpe {op. cit.) to Xenocichla albigidaris Sharpe, 

 from Fantee, is certainly identical with the type of X leuco- 

 Icema from Toro. Dr. Reichenow unites A", leucolmna with 

 X. albigularis, and states that the great difference in size 

 is due to sex. The type of A', albigidaris from Fantee is, 

 however, so very small that I think this conclusion requires 

 further contirmatiou.
