 Naivasha, July 28 and 31; Markham Downs, August 29; El Bolossa 

 swamp, September 23. "Irides hazel, bill and feet black." Much 

 grayer on the back than the South African bird, C. pileata. These 

 specimens are topotypes of Neumann's C. alhinotata which I fail to 

 separate from livingstonei.

Two specimens of a Cisticola obtained in El Bolossa swamp, Septem- 

 ber 5 and 19, appear to belong to an undescribed form. In its slender 

 bill and long tail it is evidently related to C. prinioides Neuman, but 

 apparently differs in coloration.

of Agriculture, for aid in identifying the species of this difficult genus.
