SHARPE ON CAMPEPHAGA ANDERSSONI. 69 do not consider Buffon's Martin-pecheur du Cap de Bonne Esperance to be the same bird as Brisson's "Ispida capitis bonce spei" ( = A. capensis, Linn.); and I think it probable that Buffon hastily referred his bird to Brisson's species, the exact localities of both being unknown.

Andersson from Damara Land and the adjacent district of Ovampo, I found the bird which forms the subject of the present paper. So far as I can make out, it is not included by Dr. Hartlaub in his elaborate paper on the Campephagince (" Monographische Studien fiber die Gruppe der Campephaginen, von Dr. G. Hartlaub," Journ. f. Orn. 1865, p. 153). According to the descriptions given in the learned doctor's monograph, the Damara bird would appear to be closely allied to Campephaga frenata (Heugl. Jouru. f.
