ON BIRDS FROM S. W. AFRICA. 73 



first not differing from the specimens mentioned in my 

 above cited first paper. A comparison of the specimens at 

 hand with a fine specimen of B. murinus , kindly sent me 

 by Prof. Barboza du Bocage , convinced me of the identity 

 of both species. An immature male (N". 408) differs from 

 that of the following species by its superior size and stouter 

 bill, and it has, moreover, the outer edge of the quills 

 much paler than the latter.

Three adult and two immature females. Outer edge of 

 quills , especially in immature birds , darker, i. e. more 

 rufous than those of the preceding species. The edges 

 in the figure of the young bird on plate 113 in Smith's
