Dear Wallace,

The Grosbeak from Cameroon is a queer bird & looks like a real Pinieola.

Junx pectoralis common in Eastern parts of Cape Colony (Cf. my catalogue).1 Is not Indian.

I dont remember former latter, but may have forgotten it. I don’t write much for my hand is so weak.

Yours sincerely | R Bowdler Sharpe2 [signature]
