The specimen was collected on 19th December, 1956 in the canopy of the forest along the river. The specimen is an adult — on measurements a male — of Cyanomitra batesi (Ogilvie-Grant). Dr. J. P. Chapin has also examined the specimen and confirms my identification. Major Grimwood's specimen represents a considerable south-easterly extension of the species' range, although Dr. J. P. Chapin (Birds of the Belgian Congo, vol. 4) records a specimen from Kinda in the Lower Katanga, Belgian Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Taylor, Nancy M.
