Professor Reichenow has separated a form C. chalybeiceps 

 which occurs from Senegambia to the Gold Coast, as having 

 a greener head. In the Museum series Gold Coast birds all 

 have a metallic-blue gloss, but the female sent by Mr. Bates 

 lias a distinctly green gloss on the head and neck, while the 

 male has a blue tint. Both specimens, however, have a 

 peculiarity which distinguishes them from all the others from 

 the Gold Coast, viz., the blackish inner secondaries and tips 

 to the quills, so that they are very easily separated, and 

 I have proposed a new name for the species accordingly.
