Collected in an abandoned plantation near Hill Town. 



When I wrote my above cited note on Mr. Stampfli's 

 collection , immediately before I was to leave for Liberia , 

 I in the haste overlooked Mr. Sharpe's N. emiliae , the 

 more as our four Museum specimens of this latter species 

 were determined as N. canicapilla, which latter species is 

 not represented in our Museum. 



A young specimen from Schieffelinsville may shortly be 

 described as follows: 



Entire head, neck, back and lower surface uniform dark 

 slaty gray , somewhat tinged with smoky brown , wings 

 and upper wing-coverts smoky brown , lower wing-coverts 

 white, upper tail-coverts and tail black. Iris yellowish 

 white, bill black, feet smoky brown.
