N.B. In PelzehPs f Ornitbologie Brasiliens 9 (p. 33) we find 
mentioned Hylocharis flavifrons (Gm.), of which many speci¬ 
mens were obtained by Natterer in Brazil. This species is 
referred by Gray (Handl. i. p. 148) to Eucephala; but Herr 
von Pelzeln having kindly sent me a specimen for examination, 
I find that it is Chlorostilbon prasinus. 
X .’—Description of a new Timaliine Bird from West Africa. 
By Captain G. E. Shelley. 
A recent collection of birds sent from Fantee by Mr. Aubinn 
contained two specimens of a small bird of the family Tima - 
liidce apparently new to science. 
Its peculiar coloration separates it from all the other mem¬ 
bers of the genera Alethe and Trichostoma of this part of the 
world; and it belongs to the small eastern group to which the 
name Drymocataphus * has been applied. I therefore propose 
to call it Drymocataphus cleareri. 
I must confess that, structurally, this bird seems to be a 
very good Alethe; but until the much-needed revision of the 
family Timaliidce has been accomplished, it will be convenient 
to retain it in the above section, affording, as it does, another 
remarkable instance of the Malayan element in the avifauna 
of Western Africa. 
Drymocataphus cleaveri, sp. n. 
D. suprk olivascenti-brunneus, supracaudalibus vix rufescente 
tinctis, remigibus brunneis extus dorsi colore marginatis, 
* A genus founded by Blyth in 1849 (J. A. S. B. xviii. pt. 2, p. 815). 
Type Bracliypteryx nigro-capitata, Eyton. Qy, derivation ?
