As Professor Keicbenow (J. c.) has surmised, the specimen d of 

 Shelley's B. chrysocoma (1. c.) from Kibiro is B. centralis, and is 

 of the same species as that now procured by Dr. Donaldson Smith 

 at Fort Berkeley. It is distinguished from the true B. chrysocoma 

 by its sulphur-yellow under surface, in which respect it resembles 

 B, .vanthosticta Blundell & LoYat, but it has the outer aspect of 

 the quills yellow, and not so golden as in B. xanihosticta.
