8. Anthus trivialis Lin. (Tree Pipit). 

 <J 2, 9 1. Males obtained in December are very worn, while the female 

 collected in March i.s in fresh clean dress and is very fulvous. 



9. Macronyx croceus Vieill. (Common Yellow-breasted Pipit). 

 (J 1. Common in the grassy areas between patches of forest. 



PYCNONOTIDAE. 



1. Criniger verreauxi ndussumensis Reichw. (White- throated Bulbul). 



(J 2. ? 3. Appears to be a very common bird in the Elgon forests, usually 

 found in pairs or flocks of half a dozen. They are noisy, and frequent the under- 

 growth, but keep to the high trees if disturbed. 



2. Phyllastrephus kakamegae Sharpe (Lesser Grey-headed OUve Bulbul). 

 cj 2, ? 1. See notes on next species. 



3. Phyllastrephus kikuyuensis Sharpe (Greater Grey-headed Ohve Bulbul). 



^ -) , 5 3. Here wc would have an instance of two apparently distinct bird.s 

 (supposed subspecies of P. tephrolaemus) inhabiting the same areas! (Cf. P. 

 albigularis, and P. leucoktem.a , which, however, may not be separable, in which 

 case we would have males with wing measurements of 68-88 mm. and females 

 67-84 mm. admitting that the sexing is correct.) 



I am inchned to think, without actually having examined the types, that 

 the two so-called species or subspecies are not distinct, but that P. hilcainajae 

 is the immature laird. 



A forest species, which is fairly common. 



4. Phyllastrephus albigularis Sharpe (Small Pale-breasted Bulbul). 



o 1, $ 2. This is the smaller species of pale-breasted Criniger; the male 

 has the wings 74 mm. and the females 70 and 73 mm. 



5. Andropadus virens Cass. (Olive Bulbul). 

 (J 4. A common species. 



6. Andropadus latirostris eugenius Reichw. (Yellow Moustached Bulbul). 

 cJ 2, $ 2, Juv. cJ 3. Exceedingly common. 



7. Andropadus curvhostris Cass. 



(J 2. These birds have yellow under wing-coverts, and the length of the 

 wings vary from 75-79 mm. 



In my paper on Birds collected in Uganda in the Ibis of July 1916, I kept 

 the large birds, with wing measurements of 82-89 mm., separate, under the head- 

 ing .4. c. alexanderi Oust., on account of the colour of the uijder wing-coverts which 

 were not yellow but ohve washed, and because of the throat being of a different
