* Dr. Peters having sent me several rare African Warblers for examination, 

 I find that the specimen collected by Dr. Fischer in Zanzibar and recorded above 

 as C. olivacea. Sund., is 7iof the C. oUracca of Smidevall, but isi\\e true C. olivacea 

 (V.)=C hrachi/ttra auct. The Berlin specimen is mounted, and the plumage 

 about the eye is disturbed, so that I cannot make out for certain whether tlae 

 eyebrow is present as in the S. -African bird ; but otherwise they seem to be iden- 

 lic.»l.
