630 Dr. R. B. Sharpe on Birds 



Camaroon and the Congo. This is the first time that I 

 have been able to compare birds from these two localities, 

 and there is no doubt in my mind that the Fanti bird is 

 different. I describe it as : — 



Trochocercus reichenowi, n. sp. 

 Similis T. nitenti Cass., sed crista longiore, pectore sordide 

 cinerascente, abdomine concolore, nee albicante, et 

 axillaribus cineraseentibus minime albis distinguendus.

The specimen No. 168 is apparently a young bird having 

 the throat and crown grey like the back, but the rest of the 

 under surface pale cinnamon, washed with the same slaty 

 grey as the back. It is an extraordinary-looking specimen, 

 but I fancy that I can see remains of grey on the breast of 

 another young bird from Camaroon (Crossley) .
