The tvpe which was obtained at Mawambi E. Congo Forest, 



was the onlv example secured by the Ruwenzori Expédition. 



It was however obtained in the same year by Boyd Alexander 



on the Uelle River. Dr. Christy has now secured four spécimens 



from Poko on the Uelle River, two adult maies, an adult feraale 



and a voung bird in first plumage. 



The female seems to be similar to the maie in coloration. 



The voung which has not vet heen described closely resembles 

 the adult but the teathers hâve a much more flufFy appearance and 

 the crown of the head and ear-coverts are lighter grev, the feathers 

 being grev throughout instead of blackish with grev margins as in 

 the adult.
