PLATE XXXII. 
Yellow, above spotted with black ; sides of the head, cheeks, 
ears, chin, black, continued in a stripe down the middle of 
the throat and breast ; upper part of the head pure yellow. 
The only specimen we have ever seen of this species 
has been obligingly communicated to us by Mr. 
Warwick, who received it with the other birds 
herein-mentioned from Senegal. It has the nearest 
affinity, in point of colouring, to the Malimbe d 
gorge noire of M. Yieillot’s work, Ois. Chant., pi. 45, 
but setting aside other differences, the sides of the 
head in that are pure yellow, the black of the 
chin being confined only to the front and to half- 
way down the neck ; in this, however, the black 
covers the ears and lores, and extends downwards, 
in front, to beyond the breast.
