5—6 in number this lively, little bird was seen frequenting the 

 top-most branches of the trees. 



On the eastern slopes of Elgon this species was not rare, 

 occurring also here for the most part in small flocks at an alti- 

 tude of 8.000 ft. to 11.000 ft.

This little forest Warbler occurred on the fringes of the 

 forest at the foot of Elgon, about 6.500 ft. above sea-level. It 

 frequented the tops of some small acacias in the company of 

 Anthreptes collaris uyandae.

In the forest under-growth on the eastern slopes of Elgon 

 this form was fairly common and was found up to about 7000 

 feet above sea-level. 



Zedlitz has dealt in a excellent manner with the genus 

 Camaroptera (Journ. f. Orn., 1911, p. 328—345) and has proved 

 that the East African form of this large "form-circle" of griseo- 

 viridis is griseigula. The northern range of this form should 

 go by Victoria Nyanza. But the Elgon specimens agree perfectly 

 with those from the Kikuyu-country, which in turn coincide 

 with Zedlitz's description oi griseigula^ whence the northern 

 range extends to Elgon. 



V. Someren gives his specimens from West-Elgon only 

 the style of griseoviridis (Nov. Zool., XXV, 1918, p. 289) but, 

 on the other band, be names those from the Kikuyu-country
