IN LIBERIA. 87 



collected ; the first on a small confluent of the Junk River 

 a short distance above the Du Queah, the second near 

 the Farmington River. 



Iris in both specimens purplish blue , bill glossy black , 

 feet grayish brown. 



Unfortunately the first specimen got destroyed by one of 

 our live monkeys, but before making the skin I wrote down 

 a description of the fresh specimen , which agrees with that 

 given by Mr. Gadow in the above cited Catalogue. 



In an observation at the foot of this description Mr. 

 Gadow tells us , that two probably very old specimens in 

 the Brit. Mus. differ from the adult L. multicolor by ha- 

 ving the whole body below brilliant orange. These two 

 specimens very likely might belong to Dr. Reichenow's L. 

 melamprosopus , which was collected by Mr. Schweitzer in 

 Liberia (Journ. f. Orn. 1878 , p. 209) , a species which 

 is nowhere mentioned in Dr. Gadow's Catalogue.

Several specimens, from Schieffelinsville and Hill Town, 

 amongst which a very small nestling, which peculiarly 

 enough shows not the slightest difference in color from 

 the plumage of the adult bird.
