Differs from C. phenicea only in the adult males having the bright portion 
of the wing-coverts chrome yellow, paler towards their bases. Total length 
8 inches, culmen 0:55, wing 39, tail 3-9, tarsus 0°75. Fantee (Swanzy). 
The Orange-shouldered Cuckoo-Shrike ranges from the 
Gold Coast eastwards to Abyssinia and Gallaland. 
I believe this form to be really only a variety of C. 
phenicea. It is rare in collections, the males only being 
recognizable ; of these there are four in the British Museum 
from West Africa, of which one is from Fantee (Swanzy) and 
one from Accra (Haynes). Mr. Oscar Neumann records 
one from Elmina in the Stuttgart Museum; one of 
his own collecting from Andaratsha, the capital of the 
Kaffa country, and two in the Tring Museum from Salomona 
(Schrader) in Eritrea. This Cuckoo-Shrike has also been 
obtained at the Anseba River (Antinori) in Bogosland (Hsler), 
and recently at Entebbe (W. F. Fox) and at Gemesa on the 
Upper White Nile (Koenig). 
Campephaga rothschildi. 
Campephaga rothschildi, Neumann J. f. O. 1907, p. 594, Boranaland. 
“Closely allied to C. xanthornoides but easily distinguished by the colour 
of the second and third of the greater wing-coverts, which are bright yellow 
for their whole extent, so that there is a yellow patch on the wing below 
the orange-yellow shoulder patch.” (Neumann.) 
One example of this species, recently described by 
Neumann, was collected by Baron Maurice de Rothschild 
June, 1912, 15
