714 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
Illadopsis gularis Sharpe 
Illadopsis gularis Sharpe, Ibis, ser. 2, vol. 6, p. 474, 1870: Elmina, Fanti. 
Length 7 inches; dull yellowish brown above becoming gray on forehead; rump more eae 
wing-feathers edged with rusty; below pale yellowish brown, sides rusty, abdomen white; tal 
olive brown edged with rusty. Portuguese Guinea to the Congo. 
We did not meet with this larger species but Biittikofer records three taken 
in the course of his explorations: one in the graveyard at Monrovia, and two 
others at Schieffelinsville. Like all the genus it is to be looked for in dense 
undergrowth. 
Illadopsis rufescens (Reichenow) 
Turdirostris rufescens Reichenow, Journ. f. Orn., vol. 26, p. 209, 1878: Liberia. 
Like T’. fulvescens, but larger, with a reddish tone to the upper side and crown, and white below. 
Nothing seems to have been added to our knowledge of this species since it 
was originally described by Reichenow on the basis of a bird collected in Liberia 
by Schweitzer. 
Phyllanthus atripennis (Swainson). Black-winged Babbler 
Crateropus atripennis Swainson, Birds West Africa, vol. 1, p. 278, 1837: Senegal. 
Size of a starling, 9 inches; head gray, the feathers dark brown at the base edged with gray; 
rest of plumage brown, becoming nearly black along the border of the gray throat and occiput; 
tail black, bill pale. Senegambia to Liberia. 
At Paiata two of these birds were brought in that had been snared by the 
natives, and we later saw one among low bushes on the edge of a rice-field, but 
in general it seems uncommon and retiring. Bittikofer mentions specimens 
from Cape Mesurado, Robertport, Schieffelinsville, Mt. Olive and Mt. Gallilee, 
but nothing is recorded of its habits in the country. 
Geocichla princei (Sharpe) 
Chamaetylas princei Sharpe, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1878, p. 625: Denkera, Fanti. 
Length 8 inches; above olive brown, becoming rusty on rump; spot before eye, cheeks and 
chin white to buffy; on ear region a buffy band bordered above and below by black; breast and 
sides yellowish brown, belly white; tail olive brown tipped with white. Liberia to Gold Coast. 
An immature female taken by Buttikofer on the Du was at the time the 
second known specimen, and stands today the only record for Liberia. 
Alethe johnsoni (Biittikofer) 
Drymocataphus johnsoni Biittikofer, Notes Leyden Mus., vol. 11, p. 97, 1889: Hill Town, Liberia. 
Similar to A. cleaveri but darker, wings less rufous, chest and fore neck ashy gray. 
Bittikofer records as Drymocataphus cleavert a specimen from Hill Town 
(Biittikofer, 1888, p. 77), that he later (1889b, p. 97) made the type of a new 
species (johnsoni). ‘There are no other records.
