Mus. pp. 276, 278. Nos. 54, 101, 102. 3 2- Wadelai, Aug. 1885. No. 148. o*. Wadelai, Oct. 4, 1885. Nos. 9, 19. Tingasi, July 1883. I have a specimen in my own collection determined by Dr. Hartlaub as C. ladoensis ; it is in the plumage of Drymoica curvi-rostris, Sundev. For the determination of D. strangei, Fras., 1843, and D. natalensis, Smith, 1843, I would refer to the conclusions I drew (Ibis, 1875, pp. 380, 381), which I still believe to be correct. As the first names for this species were published in the same year, 1843, I select Fraser's as being the most applicable. 29. CISTICOLA LUGUBRIS (Riipp.). Cisticola ncevia, Hartl. Abhandl. nat. Ver. Brem. viii. 1882, p. 189; id. Zool. Jahrb. ii. 1886, p. 333. Cisticola lugubris, Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vii. p. 280. No. 97. 3- Wadelai, Aug. 1885. 30. ARGYA RUBIGINOSA (Riipp.). Argya rubiginosa, Hartl. Abhandl. nat. Ver. Brem. vii. 1881, p. 93; Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vii. p. 391. No. 494. b*. Lado, Jan. 12, 1884. Iris pale yellow. 31. CRINIGER VERREAUXI, Sharpe. Criniger verreauxi, Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vi. p. 73, pi. 4. No. 671. 3- Bellima, June 22, 1883. 32. CHLOROCICHLA GRACILIROSTRIS (Strickl.). Chlorocichla gracilirostris, Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vi. p. No. 697. 2- Tingasi, July 1, 1883. This species was formerly only known from the west coast of Africa. 33. PHYLLOSTROPHUS SHARPII, Shelley. ? Criniger strepitans, Reichen. Orn. Centralbl. 1879, p. 139 (Malindi). Phyllostrephus sharpii, Shelley, Ibis, 1880, p. 334 (Dar-es- Salaam); Hartl. Abhandl. nat. Ver. Brem. viii. 1882, p. 188. Phyllostrophus strepitans, Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vi. p. 117. Nos. 45, 59, 60, 96. 3 2 • Wadelai, Aug. 1885. This is certainly my P. sharpii, which Dr. Hartlaub considers to be distinct from the P. strepitans (Reichen.), the type of which species neither myself nor Mr. Sharpe have seen. |
