18/1.] MR. R. B. SHARPE ON THE BIRDS OF CAMEROONS. 609 



birds ill my collection. Examples from this latter locality slightly 

 incline to grey on the head, while specimens from Gaboon are more 

 grey ; but I have no doubt these slight variations are due to age or 

 the season of the year. 



27. Andropadus virens.
