CHLOROPHONEUS NIGRIFRONS 423 
evidently to this species should be referred the type of 
Lanarius zosterops which was obtained on the Du Queah River 
also in Liberia, and which had been in spirits for some time 
before it was described by Mr. Biittikofer. 
From the Gold Coast Colony I have in my collection one 
of Mr. Blissett’s specimens from Mankessim in the west of 
Fantee, and there are two others, one from Yancoomassi 
(Blissett), and one from Fantee (Hickman) in the British 
Museum. 
From Camaroon there is an example collected by Crossley 
on Camaroon Mountain, alluded to by Sharpe (P. Z. 8., 1891, 
p. 611), and four (8 males and 1 female) from the River Ja, 
collected by G. L. Bates, while the type of Neumann’s 
C. reichenowt was obtained by Preuss at Victoria, in the same 
colony. 
From N’Dalla Tando, in northern Angola, there is a fine 
adult male in the British Museum collected by Ansorge. 
Laniarius graueri, recently described by Hartert, from a 
series collected by Grauer in the great Congo Forest to the 
west of Lake Albert Edward, and subsequently in another 
locality to the west of Lake Tanganyika, appears to me to be 
indistinguishable from this species. The smaller amount of 
white on the forehead, and the more greenish tail, at first 
seem to afford some ground for separation, but two fine males 
from Kibirau in Toro in western Uganda, in Mr. Jackson’s 
collection, are intermediate in this respect between Grauer’s 
specimens from the Congo Forest and those from West Africa 
proper, while these last vary considerably among themselves 
in both these characters.
