Note.—Zhe arrangement and nomenclature followed im this Catalogue are sub- 
stantially those adopted in the ‘Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum,’ 
Vol. XVIL, by Dr. Bowdler Sharpe and Mr. W. f. Ogilvie-Grant. All the 
species described since the publication of that volume, known to us up to April, 
1899, are enumerated, and have their original (or translated) diagnoses inserted. 
The names of species desiderata to our collection are printed in Grotesque type, 
thus—ceeruleiceps. 
The specific name is followed by the number of specimens of it im 
the Museum, then by the sex of cach, and lastly the locality whence obtained, 
with the month of capture, wherever these data are known. Type 
specimens are marked T.

A specimen, supposed by Mr. Dresser to be immature, is described as resembling 
«4, crossleyi but much duller in tone of plumage, the rich bay colour being 
replaced by dull rufescent ochraceous, the black and white patch on the throat 
is wanting, but there are one or two new feathers which are nearly white, 
showing that it would probably be assumed with the adult dress; the upper 
parts are duller than in 4. crossleyi and the crown is dull rufous brown varied 
with cobalt blue, the new feathers being of this latter colour ; the bluish-white 
spot on the wing-coverts is apparent, though but slightly developed. Total 
length about 9 inches; culmen, 1:15; wing, 3°55; tail, 46; tarsus, 1°65.”
