XXXVI. — On Additional Collections of Birds from, the Fantee 

 Country. By R. B. Shabpe, F.L.S., Libr. Z.S., &c. 



(Plate XIV.) 



Since the appearance of my last paper on the Ornithology of 

 Fantee [supra, pp. 52-59), I have been so foi'tunate as to receive 

 for description no less than five collections from this locality; 

 and it will readily be believed that an examination of so large a 

 series of birds has led to the discovery of many new and in- 

 teresting facts. 



The first collection was received from Mr. Higgins, whose 

 endeavours to procure me specimens from Western Africa I have 

 the greatest pleasure in acknowledging. No novelties were 

 contained in it ; but a few birds in interesting stages of plumage 

 were received. 



The second collection was placed at my service by Professor 

 Schlegel, who, with the utmost kindness, recently showed me 

 the treasures of the great Museum at Leyden, and, perceiving 

 the interest which I felt in West-African birds, most liberally 

 allowed me to bring to London, for description, a small remnant 

 of one of the collections sent from the Gold Coast, by the Dutch 

 Governor Nagtglas. As nearly all the species it contained proved 

 to be new, the value of Professor Schlegel's act cannot be too 

 highly appreciated.
