I shot on the Swakop River (a day's journey from 

 Objimbinque) a single individual of this species, which 

 was the only one that I procured in any of the countries 

 to the ornithology of which these pages refer. 



[The specimen above referred to not having been comprised 

 in Mr. Andersson's last collection, I am unable to confirm by 

 personal observatio;i his identification of it, which, however, 

 from the detailed description contained in his MS. notes, I have 

 no doubt is correct. 



Mr. Andersson also records in his notes his belief that 

 C. splendidus [smaragdineus of Layard's Catalogue) occurs in 

 Damara Land during the rainy season, although he did not 

 succeed in procuring a specimen of it in that country. — Ed.]
