Birds from the Faiitee Country. 475 



The two specimens from which the above descriptions have 

 been taken are in the Leyden Museum, obtained by Nagtglas at 

 Elmina, in July 1861. In general appearance the species re- 

 sembles T. fulvescens (Cass.) from Gaboon, but is slightly larger 

 and is altogether rufescent underneath, without the white on the 

 abdomen, so that the white throat stands out more conspicuously, 

 hence the name I have selected for the species.

Mr. Ussher has sent several specimens of this bird from the 

 Volta, and also from Cape Coast. From Mr. Fraser's descrip- 

 tion I had no difficulty in making it out to be his D. urojjygialis, 

 but could not reconcile it with his figure (Zool. Typ. pi. 42, 

 fig. 2) — the subject of which I cannot identify ; but it most cer- 

 tainly does not agree with his description in the least. I have, 

 however, set all doubts on the subject at rest by a comparison of 

 my specimens with the type in the British Museum.

 p. 60; Hartl., Orn. Westafr. p. 56. 



Mr. Ussher has sent some specimens from the Volta ; and 

 there is one at Leyden, sent by Nagtglas. I have compared 

 these with a bird in the British Museun), marked as above by 

 Sir William Jardine, and find them to be identical. 



134. Drymceca ery'throptera, Jard., Contr. Orn. 1849, 

 p. 15, pi. 15 ; Hartl., Orn. Westafr. p. 55. 



Mr. Ussher has sent from the Volta two specimens of this 

 Warbler, or at least what I take to be Sir William Jardine's 

 bird (/. c.) . They differ from his figure in the bill, which is long 

 and entirely black. Moreover they difi'er considerably inter se; 

 for one has more rufous about it than the other, especially on 

 the nape of the neck and back, whereas the other is grey 

 all down the back, becoming rufous only towards the rump. 

 Yet I think they belong to one and the same species.
