This species was sent to us some time since from Sierra Leone, and al-though we have seen several specimens in different collections, we have notyet found it described. We have, however, been unable to consult theworks of Le Vaillant. The length of our specimen is about ten inches. The whole upperparts are a fine light blackish-grey; the throat and breast are deep black-ish-grey ; the belly, vent, and under tail-coverts pure white; the quillsand tail black, with a very narrow edging of greyish-white. The femaleis nearly alike, the white parts are more tinged with grey, and the darkcolour of the throat and breast is much paler, and more indistinctly mark-ed. i 2 58. //>■ /(//.J r_ /fAcl/rSlC- . .58
