Birds of Southern Cameroon. 
the females, which have remarkably short tails, though 
certainly fully grown. 
A sitting female (No. 4346) was caught in the nest, 
which was also brought, with two eggs. This nest differed 
from those of C. griseoviridis only in that it was composed 
entirely of soft white down (pappus) ; there were some 
tough brown cobwebs running through and giving firmness 
to the soft down. The nest was attached to six leaves, three 
underneath forming a support, and three above forming a 
roof. 
The eggs (Nos. 534 & 535) measure 17’5 x 12’5 and 17 x 
12*5 mm. 
[They are similar to those of C. griseoviridis described 
above, but with the markings rather larger and more distinct, 
much as in the clutch including Nos. 526, 527.—W. li.

Many adult specimens. 
These immature specimens have the throat and chest 
yellow with varying amounts of white intermixed, and it 
may be seen that the white feathers are in moult, many 
being still partly in the sheaths. The bird with yellow 
throat and chest described by Reichenow as C. flavigularis 
must be the young of C. superciliaris. 
A marked character of this species does not seem to have 
been noticed, perhaps because it is supposed to be due to 
injury of the specimens. There is a bare patch at each 
side of the throat, the skin of which is deep blue.
