Bh'ds from the Fantee Country. 55 



tl05. Campephaga XANTHORNiTHOiDES (Lcss.). Cumpe- 

 phaga nigra, pt., Hartl., Orn. Westafr. p. 99. 



One specimen. We have now three species of Campephaga 

 recorded from Fantee, viz. the present species, the new C quis- 

 calina, Finsch (Ibis, 1869, p. 189), and the more common C. 

 phoenicea. Although I included the latter in my first list on 

 the strength of a supposed female, I have since received several 

 males, thus proving it to be a bird of frequent occurrence in the 

 Fantee Country. 



tl06. Telephonus erythropterus (Shaw); Hartl., Orn. 

 Westafr. p. 106. 

 One specimen. 



107. Laniariuschloris (Valenc). "LaniariuspeIi,Temm." 

 Bonap., Consp. Av. i. p. 360; Hartl., Journ. f. Orn. 1855, 

 pp.358, 360; Id., Orn. Westafr. p. 109. 



A single specimen agreeing with others in my collection from 

 Gaboon. 



108. Dryoscopus gambensis (Licht.) ; Hartl., Orn. Westafr. 

 p. 110. 



One specimen. Sent also by Weiss from Elmina. 



109. Dryoscopus leucorhynchus (Hartl.), Orn. Westafr. 

 p. 112. 



Two females. This extraordinary Bush-Shrike seems to be a 

 link between Diyoscopus and Dicrurus, resembling the latter in 

 the sombre black hue of the plumage, but at the same time being 

 a typical Bush- Shrike in the laxity of the feathei's. The sexes 

 differ, the males having the bill white and the females black. 

 It was originally discovered at Elmina by Weiss. 



fllO. Pyrenestes coccineus, Cass.; Hartl., Orn. Westafr. 

 p. 139. 



A female. This species was described by Mr. Cassin from a 

 specimen in the Philadelphia Museum from Monrovia on the 

 Liberian Coast. It has since been received from Gaboon by 

 MM. Verreaux, and now again turns up in Fantee. The nearly 

 allied species P. ostrinus (Vieill.) has occurred in Ashantee, and 

 may therefore be expected from Fantee also.
