\T. emini is a very dark form of T. trivirgatus (Smith) of 

 South Africa, and is distinguished by its dark greyish flanks 

 (slightly tinged with buff). I consider Colonel Manning's 

 specimens from Karonga in Nyasa-land to be also T. emini. 



T. minor is a pale little bird, Mhich the British Museum 

 has from Tete on the Zambesi and from the Usambara Hills, 

 obtained in both places by Sir John Kirk. It has light flanks 

 and under tail-coverts very pale fawn or creamy buff, and has 

 scarcely any grey on the chest, so that the throat and centre 

 of the body appear purer white than in any of the allied 

 races. T. minor, according to Dr. Reichenow (Vog. deutsch. 

 Ost-Afr. p. 158) has a wide range in East Africa, but 

 Mr. Jackson has never met with it. — R. B. S.]
