  A 
  second 
  specimen 
  (Oct. 
  16tli) 
  is 
  similar, 
  only 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  few 
  

   black 
  feathers 
  intermixed 
  with 
  the 
  yellow 
  of 
  the 
  crown. 
  

  

  A 
  third 
  specimen 
  (Sept. 
  26th) 
  is 
  a 
  young 
  male, 
  with 
  a 
  pale- 
  

   coloured 
  lower 
  mandible, 
  crown 
  and 
  sides 
  of 
  head 
  olive-green 
  ; 
  

   chin 
  and 
  upper 
  throat 
  yellow, 
  these 
  parts 
  slightly 
  mottled 
  

   with 
  black. 
  From 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  bill, 
  measurements, 
  and 
  

   general 
  appearance, 
  it 
  is 
  evidently 
  a 
  young 
  bird 
  of 
  this 
  

   species. 
  

  

  I 
  propose 
  to 
  name 
  this 
  species 
  after 
  Capt. 
  Bertram 
  Lutley 
  

   Sclater, 
  R.E., 
  Mr. 
  Johnston's 
  principal 
  officer 
  in 
  Nyassaland, 
  

   and 
  Commander 
  of 
  his 
  police 
  force.

  This 
  species 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  very 
  

   local, 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  known 
  only 
  from 
  the 
  Shire 
  Valley 
  and 
  

   Quilimane.

  Previously 
  this 
  species 
  was 
  known 
  

   only 
  from 
  the 
  type 
  from 
  Inhambani, 
  and 
  from 
  specimens 
  

   collected 
  by 
  Sir 
  J. 
  Kirk 
  at 
  Tete, 
  on 
  the 
  south 
  bank 
  of 
  the 
  

   Zambesi. 
  The 
  young 
  bird 
  has 
  the 
  back 
  and 
  edges 
  to 
  the 
  

   secondaries 
  more 
  rufous 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  adult.
