[A single specimen was shot on a bare sloping rock 
several acres in extent, between EKbolewo’o and the Ja. Such 
great rocks or cliffs are found here and there, forming 
natural open places in the forest, and are scantily covered 
with grass and bushes. This bird flew when first seen, but 
alighted again on the rock, though it might easily have 
escaped into the surrounding trees. It seemed to shun the 
forest, and [ took it to be a stranger from a desert region. 
The natives of the neighbouring village, to whom I shewed 
the bird, were not acquainted with it.—G. L. B.]

Compared with the adult recorded by me in 1904, which 
had a very short bill (culmen 3°5), the two birds now sent 
by Mr. Bates resemble specimens from the Gold Coast, 
H. rara R., 11., & K1., and have the culmen 5°1-5-2 inches. 
The culmen in the examples from the Gold Coast is 4°6 inches 
in length,
