 PLATE XXXII. 



Yellow, above spotted with black ; sides of the head, cheeks, 

 ears, chin, black, continued in a stripe down the middle of 

 the throat and breast ; upper part of the head pure yellow. 



THE only specimen we have ever seen of this species 

 has been obligingly communicated to us by Mr. 

 Warwick, who received it with the other birds 

 herein-mentioned from Senegal. It has the nearest 

 affinity, in point of colouring, to the Malimbe a 

 gorge noire of M. Vieillot's work, Ois. Chant., pi. 45, 

 but setting aside other differences, the sides of the 

 head in that are pure yellow, the black of the 

 chin being confined only to the front and to half- 

 way down the neck ; in this, however, the black 

 covers the ears and lores, and extends downwards, 

 in front, to beyond the breast.
