from Efulen in Camaroon. 6J1 



rightly determined as immature by Professor Reichenow, 

 but the too-conscientious artist has reproduced the effect of 

 London smoke upon the under surface of the bird. In a 

 wild state the lower parts are white ! 



I propose to name the Camaroon species : — 



DrYOTRIORCHIS B A.TESI, II. Sp. 



Similis D. spectabili, sed praepectore lactcscenti-albo con- 

 colore distinguendus. Long. tot. circa 20*0 poll., culm. 

 0*95, alae 115, caudae 9, tarsi 2*05. 

 Hab. Camaroon, Gaboon, Congo Region (type in Mus. 

 Brit., ex Efulen). 



" I think that I have now obtained in all five specimens of 

 Dryotriorchis spectabilis, the only one about which I am 

 in doubt being No. 250. [This is the type-specimen of 

 D. batesi.~\ This last bird's stomach had in it pieces 

 of the skin of a chameleon and fragments of insects; the 

 other four had remnants of snakes, and nothing else that 

 could be recognised. That of Aug. 13, 1903, had an 

 entire snake two feet long in its crop, and another in its 

 stomach partly digested. No. 444 had its stomach full of 

 snake-scales and a few bones, though the latter had mostly 

 disappeared; but several papery shells of eggs that must 

 have been in the snake's body were still intact. These birds 

 seem to be forest-dwellers."

Mr. Bates's note on this species is as follows : — "This was 

 probably a stranger to the country. It was the only one 

 ever seen in the district, and was new to the man who shot 

 it, as well as to all the natives who saw the specimen in my 

 collection. They had no native name for it. The empty 

 stomach shewed that it had not learned how to obtain a 

 meal in this forest-region."
