34. EURILLAS LATIROSTRIS (Strickl.). 



Andropadus latirostris Strickl. P. Z. S. 1844, p. 100 (Fer- 

 nando Po) j id. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. xv. p. 127 (1845) ; 

 Allen & Thomson, Narr. Exped. Niger, ii. p. 496 (1848 : 

 Fernando Po) ; Eraser, Zool. Typ. pi. 35 (1849) ; Hartl. 

 Orn. W.-Afr. p. 87 (1857 : Fernando Po) ; Shelley, B. Afr. 

 i. no. 836 (1896) ; Bocage, Jorn. Lisb. (2) vii. p. 35 (1903 : 

 Fernando Po) ; Salvad. Orn. Golfo d. Guinea, iii. p. 111. 



Eurillas latirostris Sharpe, Hand-1. B. iii. p. 325 (1901). 



We obtained a fine series of this Bulbul, which is widely 

 distributed both on the high and low ground. Two of our 

 specimens marked " immature " have scarcely any trace of 

 the yellow moustache, and the lower mandible is of a yellowish 

 horn-colour. 



In this plumage they come very close to E. virens, but the 

 olive-blackish stripe on the sides of the chin is always indi- 

 cated and serves at all times to distinguish this species from 

 its congener. 



The note of this bird is a clear " wheet-wheet," uttered 

 constantly from the tops of tall trees, and becoming very 

 persistent in the early morning and evening. 



Adult male. Bibola, Nov. 1, 1902. Iris brown ; bill 

 blackish brown ; legs and feet yellowish flesh-coloured. 



Immature male. Upper mandible blackish brown, base of 

 lower yellowish horn-coloured; legs and feet yellowish flesh- 

 coloured . 



35. Eurillas virens (Cass.). 



Andropadus virens Bocage, Jorn. Lisb. (2) iv. p. 8 (1895 : 

 Fernando Po) ; Shelley, B. Afr. i. no. 840 (1896) ; Bocage, 

 Jorn. Lisb. (2) vii. p. 35 (1903 : Fernando Po) ; Salvad. Orn. 

 Golfo d. Guinea, iii. p. 111. 



Eurillus virens Sharpe, Hand-1. B. iii. p. 324 (1901). 



We obtained a large series of this species, which is widely 

 distributed over the lower portions of the island. 



Our three adult birds differ from the immature specimens 

 in having the wing-coverts and quills washed with yellowish 

 olive instead of reddish brown ; back olive-brown, the 

 crown a little darker ; axillaries and under wing-coverts
