The occurrence of this species at Casamanse and Sene- 
gambia is fairly open to doubt. The figure referred to this 
bird by Rochebrune ( l. c.) cannot apply to this species, for it 
differs in having the upper back red, like the rump, instead 
of grey, and the lower mandible pink instead of slaty grey. 
If it is a correct picture, the specimen from which it was 
taken must belong to a species new to science.
