This species has a yellow bill like Scops icterorhyncha of 
Shelley, which is its nearest ally, but it is uniformly bright 
cinnamon. It is difficult to believe that it can be the rufous 
phase of S. icterorhyncha, as there is no sign of the large 
white spots on the scapulars and wing-coverts, and the whole 
of the under surface is bright cinnamon, varied with small 
'^ arrow-head " streaks and spots of white, but without any 
sign of the dusky vermiculation which is a feature of 
S. icterorhyncha. 
5. Hapaloderma .equatoriale Sharpe, Bull. B. O. C. xii. 
p. 3 (1901). 
c^ ad. Minkale, May 22, 1901. 
This specimen I have compared with a large series of 
H. narina in the British Museum, and I find that it differs 
from all of them in the coarseness of the blackish vermicu- 
lations on the wing-coverts, which are very different in 
appearance when the two species are compared,
