Nothing more was heard of Ibis olivacea till Dohrn visited 

 Prince's Island, and there found the bird (P. Z. S. 1866, 

 p. 330). Mr. Keulemans, who accompanied Dr. Dohrn, has, 

 moreover, given a good account of it (Ned. Tijdschr. Dierk. 

 iii. p. 39). 



Dr. Reichenow has also attributed to /. olivacea a young 

 bird from Kameroon (J. f. O. 1874, p. 378 ; 1890, p. 108), 

 the description of which agrees pretty well with that of the 

 young given by Cassin; only Dr. Reichenow describes the 

 bird as having the auricular region edged below by a whitish 

 stripe, a feature found in Hagedashia hagedash, but certainly 

 wanting at least in the adult of /. olivacea, which has the 

 auricular coverts paler, slightly indicating a pale or whitish 

 band. 



This was the status of/, olivacea when Mr. Elliot in 1877 

 published (P. Z. S. 1877, pp. 477-510) his « Review of the 

 Ibidince " ; in this paper the author described and figured, 

 under the name of Lampribis (nov. gen.) olivacea (Dubus), 

 some birds from Denkera, in Ashantee, sent by Ussher, 

 which have since been supposed to belong to a different 

 species. These specimens, however, agree very well with the 

 young or immature birds described by Cassin as the young of 

 Ibis olivacea. 



Since the publication of Elliot's paper, /. olivacea has been 

 mentioned by Mr. Buttikofer among the birds of Liberia, 

 specimens having been collected in several places [Not. Leyd. 

 Mus. vii. (1885) p. 243; x. (1888) p. 101; xi. (1889) 

 p. 127] ; but of these I shall treat presently. 



Ibis olivacea was found also in the island of S. Thomas 

 by Mr. F. Newton, who sent several specimens of it to the 

 Museum of Lisbon; they have been mentioned by Prof. 

 Barboza du Bocage [Jorn. Sc. Lisb. no. xlviii. (1888) 

 pp. 233, 234; (2) no. ii. (1889) p. 144 (S. Miguel); no. iii. 

 (1889) p. 210 (S. Miguel) ; no. vi. (1891) p. 84 (Angolares)]. 



Dr. Sharpe (Cat. B. xxvi. p. 38), like Mr. Elliot, attributed 

 to Lampribis olivacea some specimens from Denkera (Ash- 

 antee), and in his key to the genera the genus Lampribis was 

 included in the section having the " anterior aspect of the
