Perfectly similar in color with our type of T. pelios^ 

 except the flanks, which are »pale grayish brown" {T. chi- 

 guancoides), showing but a slight shade of »pale bufiish 

 chestnut", which latter color characterizes T. pelios. Wing 

 11,2 cm., tail 8,6 cm. 



Iris brown , bill yellow , feet grayish flesh-color. 



As my Liberian specimen would belong, after Mr. See- 

 bohm , to T. pelios on account of its smaller size , but 

 come very near to T. chiguancoides on account of its 

 grayish brown flanks , it might be better to reunite T. chi- 

 guancoides with 2'. pelios, the more as our type of the lat- 

 ter is fully as large as Mr, Seebohm's 2. chiguancoides , the 

 length of the wing being 12 cm.
