 Seems to be a typical Cossypha, allied to C reclamutor (Vicill.), 

 with which it agrees iii all essential characters. The specimen above 

 described is a male, and was procured at Clarence, Fernando Po. 



7'otal length 7| inches; beak to gape 10 lines, to front 7 lines, 

 breadth 4 lines, height "2^ lines; wing 4 inches 2 lines; medial rec- 

 trices '6\ inches, external 3 inches 4 lines; tarsus 1 inch, middle toe 

 and claw 1 inch, hind ditto 8 lines, lateral toes equal. 



INIr. Fraser adds that this bird " feeds on the ground ; when sitting 

 quiet in a naked bush it is with difficulty to be discovered. Irides 

 hazel." 



Pycnonotin/e. 



Andropadus latieostris, Strickl. A. corpore suprH olivaceo, re- 



migibus fuscis, exths viridi-olivascente, intus albido, niarginatis, 



rectricibus/usco-brnnneis, olivaceo limbatis ; corpore subtus olivas- 



cente, lateribus menti, alec tectricibus infernis, et abdomine medio 



stramineis. Rostrum corneum, marginibus pallidis, pedes ungues- 



que pallescentes. Rostrum depressum, tomiorum dentibus obli- 



qiiis 6 vel 7 utrinque ; illis maxillae distinctis, mandibulcB subob- 



soletis. 



In this species the beak is considerably depressed and formed like 



that of a Muscicapa ; the teeth of the up])er mandible are distinct and 



regular, but disapj^ear about the middle of the beak. The lower 



mandible is also furnished with five or six serrations, but very low 



and indistinct. The wing is much rounded, the fifth quill being 



longest and the rest graduated. The colour and texture of plumage 



are much like that of the East Indian Pycnonotus flavirictus, Strickl. 



(Ann. Nat. Hist., June 1844.) 



Total length 6^ inches ; beak to gape 1 1 lines, to front 7 lines ; 

 breadth 4 lines, height 2| lines ; wing 3^ inches ; medial rectrices 

 3 inches ; extei-nal 2| inches ; tarsus |- inch, middle toe and claw 8 

 lines, hind ditto 6 lines. 



The above description is taken from a specimen marked " female." 

 In two other specimens in which the sex is not indicated the dimen- 

 sions and plumage are the same, but the yellow streak on each side 

 of the chin is wanting, and the lower mandible wants the serrations, 

 and exhibits only a small subterminal notch. These are probably 

 younger individuals.

Andropadus gracilirostris, Strickl. A. corpore toto suprcl oli- 

 vaceo, remigibus primariis fuscis, extiis olivascente, intiis pallide 

 ochraceo limbatis, corpore subtus pallide olivaceo-cinerascente, 

 mento guldque albidis, abdomine medio crissoque pallide favescen- 

 iibus, alarum tectricibus infernis pallide ochraceis. Rostrum 

 pedesque corneo-fusci ; rostrum longiusculum, turdinum, dentibus 

 viaxillce duobus, mandibulcc nullis. 



'Tliis species differs from the former one in several points of struc- 

 ture ; the beak is considerably narrower at the base and more slender.
