1921.] 
As the authors of this species named UssheCs bird 
from Denkera, specimens from the Gold Coast must 
bear the above name. The bird is figured in P. Z. S. 
1877, p. 477, pi. li., and there erroneously named Ibis 
olivacea. 
We have only specimens from the Gold Coast, Came¬ 
roon, and the Upper Congo in the British Museum ; 
while Reichenow records it from Gaboon and Angola 
in addition. 
2. Lampribis splendidus. 
Lampribis splendidus Salvadori, Ibis, 1903, pp. 184-185— 
Type locality : Liberia. 
I have not seen specimens of this Ibis, but a complete 
description of the bird is given by Salvadori (/. c. p. 185). 
From the description the Liberian bird seems to be more 
nearly allied to L. olivacea than to the spotted-breasted 
Lampribis rara. We have no examples of this bird in 
the British Museum. It may be only a subspecies of 
Lampribis olivacea. 
[Lampribis cupreipennis. 
Theristicus cupreipennis Reichenow, Orn. Monatsber. xi. 
1903, p. 134—Type locality : Cameroon. 
In the 4 Ornithologische Monatsberichte 9 for 1903, Reiche- 
now gives a description of a bird which he obtained from 
Cameroon, and which he named L. cupreipennis. The 
description agrees with a bird in the British Museum, which 
was obtained by Mr. G. L. Bates at Efulen, Cameroon 
(No. 158), on the 19th of May, 1903, and which in 4 The Ibis,’ 
1914, p. 623, I referred to Lampribis olivacea , thinking it 
might be an immature example of that bird. At first sight, 
therefore, it would appear that we must call the Cameroon 
bird Lampribis cupreipennis of Reichenow, but before we 
accept this name for the uniform-breasted, bronze-winged, 
short-billed Ibis from Cameroon, let us examine the next 
species, L. olivacea , mentioned by Dr. Reichenow in his paper 
(/. c.), of which species we shall find that L. cupreipennis is a 
synonym !]
