^^ I received specimens of this bird from MM. Verreaux, labeled 

 i-. melanaria. But that species seems to be " coal-black'' above 

 and IS from a very different zoological region. I therefore doubt 

 their identity.

I have two specimens of this apparently unnamed Pyriqlenu in mv 

 own collection. It is distinguishable from P. atra, dlisiana, and serva 

 by the white terminations of the tail-feathers. The bill is rather 

 broader and stouter than in the typical species.
