Iris crimson ; bill and legs black. 



Total length in the flesh— male 190-205, female 183- 

 203 mm. 



Specimen I, an immature bird, has the bill much shorter 

 than in the adult ; the white tufts on the hhid-part of the 

 cheeks and ear-coverts much less developed, and the greater 

 secondary coverts tipped with white. Otherwise the plumage 

 resembles that of the adult. 



"Though by no means plentiful, the Broad-billed Fly- 

 catcher was observed from the coast belt to the furthest 

 point reached in the mountains. 



" It was usually seen singly, and was generally perched 

 on some conspicuous position, a habit shared by some of the 

 African Barbets, of which this species at once reminded me. 

 I did not hear it call."— C. H. B, G.
