Mr. Sharpe (Cat. B. Br. Mus. VII. p. 178, pi. XI) under 

 the name of C. Haynesii , separates the Gold Coast specimens 

 from atripennis on account of their black crown and occiput 

 and having on the fore-neck the same color as the 

 rest of lower surface. Our Liberian specimens belong 

 Vïdthout doubt to the true C. atripennis as it is described 

 by Swainson and Mr. Sharpe, with the exception that all 

 three have the crown more or less black, i. e. one the 

 whole crown, the other the fore-part from off the base of 

 the bill , and the third only the centre of the crown , which 

 latter has all the black feathers broadly edged with hoary 

 gray. In all three however the occiput is hoary gray , while 

 in our three Gold Coast specimens (C. Haynesii) this part 

 is black like the crown. 



The general appearance of the Liberian birds — the only 

 ones of C. atripennis in our Museum — is very dark brown , 

 mantle and breast being nearly pure black , while the three 

 specimens from the Gold Coast have a cinnamon-brown 

 appearance.
