 {Type of the species.) 



Iris dark hazel ; bill and feet black. 



This Barbet is most nearly allied to B. leucolama Verr., 

 but is larger; the chest is greyish-white instead of white, and 

 the rest of the underparts are duller and of a more greenish- 

 yellow colour. As regards the coloration of the underparts, 

 it closely resembles i?.jacA;so?/i Sharpe; but the rump is pale 

 sulphur-yellow, as in B. leucolama, and not bright chrome- 

 yellow. The measurements are : — culmen 0*5 inch ; wing 2'3 ; 

 tail 1'13 ; tarsus 0*6. 



In eleven examples of this species from Ruwenzori the 

 measurements are as follows : — 4 ^ , wing 2T5-2*3 inches ; 

 7 ? , wing 2- 18-2-3.

Iris brown; bill and feet black. 



The bird obtained by Mr. Carruthers has a wing-measure- 

 ment of 87 mm., and apparently belongs to this smaller form 

 of tlie Black-collared Barbet {L. torquatus Dumont) and not 

 to L. congicus Reich., if the latter is really separable from 

 L. irroratus.
