In my previous paper on Liberian Birds ^) I have al- 

 ready called attention to Mr. Stampfli, whom I en- 

 abled to carry on my zoological investigations after my re- 

 turn from Liberia, Mr. Stampfli, from July 1884 to April 

 1886, on different times had his headquarters at Paynes- 

 ville and Oldfield, on the banks of the Messurado 

 River about 15 sea-miles above Monrovia, and at Schieffe- 

 linsville on the Junk River, about 3 miles (in straight 

 line) from the coast. From this latter place he explored 

 not only the large Junk River, but also some of its tri- 

 butaries, the Too- and the DuQueah River, which latter 

 is about as large as the Junk River itself. Some of his 

 specimens he collected in the vicinity of Monrovia , during 

 several longer and shorter stays he had in this place. Mr. 

 Stampfli most zealeously braved all the disagreeablenesses
