“ The other one, B. duchaillui , comes from Gaboon. I have dedicated this new species to 
“ M. d’ Anchieta, who sent it to me from West Africa.” 
It will be seen by the above note that the learned Professor classed this species as a 
Buccanodon. He gave one of his specimens to Mr. R. B. Sharpe, who kindly placed it at 
our disposal, so we have been able to examine it carefully, and on comparing this bird with 
Buccanodon duchaillui (which genus we have united with Xylobucco ) we find that there is a 
material difference between them in the formation of the bill, and further in the rictal 
bristles, which are well developed in B. duchaillui are entirely wanting in the species on 
which we are now writing. This places them, according to our arrangement, in different 
sub-families. There being no other genus with which we can identify the present species, 
we have in a paper in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society ( l.c .) proposed the generic 
name under which it now appears. 
This bird was well figured in the “ Proceedings” for 1869 (l.c.). Our plate is taken 
from Mr. Sharpe’s specimen, the only one at present in England.
