154 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie Grant on Birds 



Dr. Sharpe now proposes to call the East- African bird 

 Parisoma jachsoni [see Bull. B. O, C. vol. x. p. xxviii 

 (1899)]. 



Sylvia blanfurdi Scebolim is closely allied to this species, 

 and should be transferred to the genus Parisoma, the 

 long, well-developed, first priraary-quill distinguishing it 

 from the genus Sylvia. 



This species is new to the British ]\Iuseum Collection. 



[Thougli plentiful locally about Gitemma and Bilo, in 

 Upper Lika, this Warbler did not appear to have a wide 

 range. It has a pleasant note, and altogether has a ratiier 

 superficial resemblance to a " pocket edition " of the 

 Bulbul— L.]
