342 Dr. lleugliu's List of Birds 



43. MUSCICAPA GRISOLA. 



Observed near Aden. Not rare in the middle of October near 

 Tadjura, and somewhat later on the Somali coast. 



43. Lanius lahtora (Sykes). 



Observed on the island of Agig (18-19° N. L.), on Dahalak, 

 and near Tadjura. 



[I have accurately compared the original specimen with a fine 

 male from Madras in the Bremen collection, and cannot dis- 

 cover any true diflFerence, except in the beak, which is somewhat 

 shorter in the African bird. — Ed.] 



44. Lanius spinitorques. 



On the island of Dahalak and near Tadjura. Old and young 

 birds. 



45. Lanius somalicus, Hartl., n. sp. 



Above, fine black, except the middle of back being transversely 

 variegated with grey and whitish ; below, white without any rose- 

 tint. Tail much like that of Z-. minor. 1st November, 1857, 

 I killed two birds of this kind on a marshy and well-wooded plain 

 near Bender-Gam in the country of the Ker-Singeli-Somals. 

 Both were afterwards lost during a fight. Size of L. minor. The 

 female above more of a dirty fuliginous colour. 



[There can be no doubt about this being a new species. — Ed.] 



46. NiLAUS CAPENSIS. 



One specimen, from the Rio Gore near Berbera. 



47. Laniarius cruentatus. (D., A.) 



48. CoRvus apfinis (R.). 



In the mountains near Tadjura. A younger bird of this spe- 

 cies from Tadjura had the feathers of the chin and throat of a 

 pure cinereous. Several Abyssinian specimens showed the same 

 colouring, but less distinctly. 



49. Amydrus blythii (Hartl.). 



From the Rio Gore near Berbera on the Somali coast. 



50. BUPHAGA erythrorhyncha. (A., D., S.) 



51. Hyphantornis galbula (Riipp.).
