IN LIBERIA. 91 



91. Vidua principalis. 



Butt. N. L. M. 1885, p. 197; id. 1886, p. 259. 



Tolerably common near Schiefielinsville and Marshall. 



92. Coliuspasser macro u rus (Gm.). 



Butt. N. L. M. 1885, p. 197; id. 1886, p. 259. 

 In the same localities as Vidua principalis. 



93. Spermospiza haematina (Vieill.). 



Butt. N. L. M. 1885, p. 198; id. 1886, p. 260. 



Amongst the specimens from SchiefFeliusville and Hill 

 Town there is a, as I think, adult male with the upper 

 tail-coverts broadly tipped with red , a character , which 

 Capt. Shelley (Ibis 1886, p. 316) ascribes to the male of 

 S. guttata. 



94. Pyrenestes person at us, Du Bus. 



Butt. N. L. M. 1885, p. 199; id. 1886, p. 260. 



One specimen , ad. cf , from Schieffeliusville , with the 

 same chocolate-brown plumage as all the former, hitherto 

 collected in Liberia. I feel quite sure that no black specimens 

 are found between Cape Mount and the Junk River and 

 that therefore the specimen from Monrovia, mentioned by 

 Cassin as P. coccineus , is identical with our P. personatus. 



95. P y til i a schlegeli, Sharpe. 



Butt. N. L. M. 1885, p. 201. 



This specimen agrees with that , described in the above 

 cited Notes as the adult female , the throat and chest how- 

 ever being still stronger tinged with ochre. Breast and 

 abdomen black, and spotted with white, like in adult male. 



96. aS^ ermestes f r in g ill o ide s (Lafr.). 



Butt. N. L. M. 1885, p. 201 ; id. 1886, p. 261. 

 Collected near Schieffeliusville.
