certainly referable to this species. There is another per- 

 fectly similar specimen in the British Museum labelled 

 " Gaboon (P. T)u Chaillu), Tweeddale Collection/' which 

 has been wrongly identified as C. nigra : also an adult 

 female from Angola, procured by J. J. Monteiro and doubt- 

 fully referred to C. hartlaubi, Salvad. 



I have also examined in the Tring Museum two males and 

 a female of this species, which, like the bird described above, 

 were also collected in the Mpanga forest by Mr. R. Grauer ; 

 likewise a male from Nandi, Uganda, obtained by Dr. \Y. J. 

 Ansorge. 



Mr. Boyd Alexander sent for exhibition examples of 

 three new species of birds obtained by him during his recent 

 expedition from Nigeria to the Nile : —
