ILLUSTRATIONS OF ORNITHOLOGY. 
DRYMOICA MENTALIS, Fraser. 
Crymoica mentalis, Fraser, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1843, p. 16.— Trotter and 
Allen, Narr. of Exped. to River Niger, ii. p. 490. App. 
The description in the proceedings of the Zoological Society seems 
to have been taken from an imperfect specimen, so that we trust 
the accompanying figure, with the account of its habits previously 
given (p. 7), may not be unacceptable to ornithologists. Dr. 
Grordon presented a specimen to the Museum in Edinburgh, which 
hears his Number 16. We add the dimensions from the specimen 
our possession. 
Entire length, 8 ; bill to forehead, 6 ; to gape, 1 ; wing, 2. 9 ; tail, 
3.4; tarsus, i.
