fQ-t. PloceusholoxanthusHartl. = Ploceus [Hyphantornis) aureoflavus aureoflavns. 



Ploceus holoxanthus Hartlaub, Abh. not. Ver. Bremen, 1891. p. 22 (Mtoni on the Kingani River, 

 E. Airica). 



Type : 3 ad., Mtoni, January. BohndorS leg. 



In NoviTATES ZooLOGiCAE, 1907, p. 499, I expressed my opinion that 

 P. holoxanthus could hardly be the same as aureoflavus. Zedlitz, Joitrn. f. Orn. 

 1916, pp. 20, 21, has examined more material and came to the conclusion that 

 the so-called holoxanthus were onlj' extreme yellow males, flavisms, as he calls 

 it. As I have no series to form an opinion, I can only accept Count Zedlitz's 

 view. 



f 95. Ploceus rubiginosus cinnamominus Hart. = Ploceus [Melanopteryx) 



rubiginosus trothae. 

 Plocevs rubiginosus cinnamominns Hartert, Bull. B.O. Club, xxi. p. 11 (1907 — S. Angola). 



T^'pe : cj ad., Kimukua, Mossamedes, 14.iii. 1906. Dr. W. J. Ansorge 

 leg. No. 1436. 



This excellent subspecies had alreadj' been named trothae by Reichenow 

 in 1905. 



96. Malimbus malimbica melanobrephos Hart. = Malimhus nvtlimhicus 



melanobrephos. 



Malimhus malimbica melanobrephos Hartert, Nov. Zool. 1907. p. 491 (" Upper Guinea from Liberia 

 to the Gold Coast and Togo "). 



Type : S ad., Gold Coast (Fanti preparation) (No. 719). 

 97. Malimbus malimbicus crassirostris subsp. nov. 



Formae Malimbus malimbicus malimbicus dictae persimilis, sed rostro orassiore facile distinguendus. 



I have only one adult male, one apparently adult female, and a young bird 

 from Budongo Forest, Unyoro. All three are at once distinguishable by the thicker 

 beak, which appears more swollen, much wider at base, especially between the 

 nostrils. (Possibly the sincipital crest is more pointed and longer, but a series 

 would be necessary to prove this.) 



Type : <? ad., Budongo Forest, Unyoro, 17. ii. 1907. L. M. Seth-Smith leg. 



98. Uraeginthus bengalus perpallidus Neum. = Uraeginthus bengalus perpallidus. 



Vraeginthiis bengalus perpallidus Neumann, Joum. j. Orn. 1905. p. 351 (White Nile). 



Type: S ad. 15. or 16. vi. 1901 (not 14. or 15.), at Goz-abu-Guma or 

 Kaka, Upper White Nile. Oscar Neumann leg. 



This form is very distinct, but specimens from Gondokoro (Seth-Smith) 

 are already distinctly darker, though by no means like ugandae. 



99. Uraeginthus bengalus schoanus Neum. = Uraeginthus bengalus schoanus. 



Uraeginthus bengalus schoanus Neumann, Joum. f. Orn. 1905. p. 350 (" Gebirge Sehoas und Sud — 

 " Athiopiens in Hohen von 2.200-3.000 m."). 



Type: <J ad., Ejere, Province Meta, Shoa, 16. ix. 1900. Oscar Neumann 

 leg. No. 14.
