I met with this bird only at Senafé, in the valleys, and on the Anseba. In August 
I shot well-fledged young, able to fly. They are excessively noisy, especially when two 
alight on the same tree; the note resembles a derisive roar of laughter more than any 
thing else I can think of. Contents of stomach fruit—W. J.]

There cannot be any doubt that B. pecilorhynchus is the female of this species, 
although von Heuglin maintains the contrary, and thinks the latter distinct. All the 
females in the collection of Mr. Jesse agree with the so-called B. pecilorhynchus, whereas 
the black-billed ones are males. Many specimens from Damaraland, which I inspected, 
in the collection of the late Mr. Andersson gave similar results.—0. F.
