This species was very common around the foot of Nwalabo in 

 April. They went about in flocks, as many as sixty being seen 

 together, and they particularly frequented in the mornings and 

 evenings large trees of a species of fig, then in fruit ; a 

 large series were procured. The majority were young males, 

 showing more or less of the female plumage on the lower sur- 

 face, and of the adults, none of the males approaching in 

 blackness or in paucity of white on the lower surface, the 

 specimen already described.
