[This is another bird the call of which, put in words, 
constitutes its Bulu name, which is “ Ta-dj6é.” It is sup- 
posed to say “Ta! ta djoé,” “ Look! a Pigmy Antelope! ” 
This call is often heard at mid-day when the sun is shining, 
and the bird is perched on some bare limb on the top of 
a tall tree. It is a very agreeable sound. A specimen was 
obtained in the Zima Country.—G. L. B.]
