Tr. barbatus, PL Col. pi. 88. 



CONSIDERING that in a group of birds like this, 

 where the species so closely resemble each other, 

 their specific names should more particularly be 

 appropriate, or at least not calculated to lead into 

 error, we have been induced to describe this under 

 the name of strigilatus rather than that of barbatus ; 



* The bird here described by Mr. Swainson seems to be 

 the same with the T. teplrogenys, Plate 127 of " Ornithologi- 

 cal Illustrations." " T. supra castaneus, genis griseis, gula alba< 

 pectore dbdomineque mediis flavescentibus, capite supra rufescens, 

 ridu valide vibrissato" The specimen there described was 

 purchased, and was supposed to come from India ; we have* 

 since received it from Sierra Leone. W. J.
