480 Mr. R. B. Sharpe on Additional Collections of 



white edgings to the primaries. I have three specimens of 

 B. comitatus before me, belonging to the Leyden Museum. One 

 of them appears to be a younger bird, and is much darker in 

 colour, and has more grey on the breast.. 



tl52. BuTALis EPULATUS, Cass, ; Hartl., Orn. Westafr. p. 96. 

 One specimen in Mr. Swanzy's collection. 



tl53. Platystira senegalensis (L.) ; Hartl., Orn. West- 

 afr. p. 94. 



One specimen sent by Mr. Ussher from the Volta. 



tl54. Platystira leucopygialis, Fras. ; Hartl., Orn. 

 Westafr. p. 95. 



Two females and one male in the collection received from 

 Mr. Higgins ; in Mr. Ussher^s first collection a single male, 

 beautifully preserved, and exhibiting fully the peculiar form of 

 this most aberrant Platystira. His specimen bears the follow- 

 ing remark : — " Small spectacled Flycatcher. Wattles bright 

 scarlet.'' No one, to look at these wattles in the preserved 

 specimen, would guess their original colour in the living bird, 

 as they fade to a dull grey. 



tl55. Terpsiphone tricolor (Fras.); Hartl., Orn. West- 

 afr. p. 90. 



One specimen obtained by Nagtglas is in the Leyden Museum.
