MUSCICAPIDAE. 



116. Bradyornis modestus Shelley. 



<f ? ? Gambaga, Jnue and July 189S. " Iris brown." 



This form is probably a subspecies of B. jmllidas, from which it seems to differ 

 in having longer wings, a longer bill, and a more brownish throat and chest. 



IIT. Muscicapa coUaris Bechst. 

 ? ? Gambaga, November and January. 



118. Batis senegalensis (L.). 



5 Gambaga, 4. 6. 1898. " Iris yellow." 



At first sight this bird looks like B. orientalis, as it has a slaty grey crown, but 

 its measurements are like those of western B. senegalensis, and the crown shows 

 already signs of the coming black colour. There is, therefore, no doubt that the 

 bird is B. senegalensis. 



119. Platystira cyanea (P.L.S. Miill.). 



6 ? January, June and July 1898. " Iris grey, eyelid coral-red." 



120. Terpsiphone viridis (P.L.S. Miill.). 

 <?(? ? Gambaga, July and August 1898. " Iris brown, eyelids blue." 



121. Elminia longicauda (Swains.), 

 d ? Gambaga, July and August. 



122. Parisoma plumbeum (Hartl.). 



? ? Gambaga, August 1»9», January ls99. "Iris brown."

 i Gambaga, 29. 8. 1898. " Iris brown." 



TURDIDAE. 

 125. Tardus chiguancoides Seeb. 



cj ? Gambaga, December 1898, January 1899. 



This is the thrush which in Journ. f. Orn. 1896 p. 57" I called T. crypto- 

 pyrrhus. The name chigaancoides, although very ugly, has the priority (cf. Cat. B. 

 Brit. Mus. V. p. 231, Journ. /. Orn. 1882 p. 32U). The distribution of these 

 forms is not yet clear. It seems to be a mistake to identify West African 

 and North-eastern birds. North-eastern birds are the true T. pelios Bp., or 

 icterorhynckus Heugl.
