Two males and two females , amongst which a pair , 

 shot near its nest in the forests behind Monrovia. 



One of my collected females agrees in every respect with 

 Cassin's description of C. vestita , 1. c, the other has the 

 back , axillaries and wing-coverts slightly sprinkled with 

 fulvous shaft-streaks, occasionally enlarging to one or two 

 fulvous spots on each feather. The male of the mentioned 

 pair is spotted in the same manner, while the female be- 

 longing to it has no spots at all. The males only differ 

 from the females by having the feathers on the upper sur- 

 face of head and neck tipped with crimson inslead of pale 

 fulvous. The under wing-coverts in all four specimens are 

 uniform pale yellow , faintly tinged with fulvous or golden- 

 yellow. Length of wing 9,8 to 10,2 cm., tail 6,5 cm.
