The head of a nestling in down , without any accom- 

 panying notes. The down is uniform white, with a faint 

 isabelline tinge , especially along the neck. The powerful 

 black bill alone will exclude any doubt about the species.

 of *S. oustaleti with our type of peli and feel convinced 



1) The species, new to the knowledge of the Liherian Avifauna, will he 

 marked with an asterisk.
