312 Capt. G. E. Shelley on the 



My description is taken from a male specimen collected by 

 myself at Accra, on the Gold Coast. I have also examined 

 the type of T. albivetitris , Gray, in the British Museum, 

 labelled " Tchadda R. {Baikie) ."' 



It differs from its nearest ally, T. capicola, in the absence 

 of grey on the head, except the very slight shade of that 

 colour on the occiput, the forehead being pink, the richer 

 vinous shade on the underparts, the under tail-coverts partially 

 shaded with pink, and the smaller measurement of the wing. 

 From T. roseop'iseus it may at once be distinguished by the 

 absence of white on the under surface of the wing, and in 

 its having a black stripe from the eye to the lores.
