Barbatula stellata, of which Fraser’s types were kindly lent to us by Mr. Eyton, is 
identical with this bird. 
Its general habits are similar to those of all the small African Megalwmince. It is 
common apparently where it occurs ; and its range extends almost throughout the coast of 
tropical West Africa. 
Our Plate and description are taken from specimens in our own collection, obtained by 
Mr. Sharpe from Fantee. There is no other figure extant of this Barbet.
