there is a third species of the genus, A. gurneyi, easily distin- 

 guished by having the edges of the quills yellow instead of red. 



23. Hyphantornis shelleyi Sharpe. 



Mr. Alfred Sharpe sends examples of this species from 

 Katunga and Dedza — its most northern-known range. It is 

 probably not uncommon in Southern Nyasaland^ for there 

 are six specimens in the British Museum from Tete on the 

 Zambesi. 



43. Malaconotus starki (Scl.). 



Malaconotus blanchoti (nee Steph.) Shelley, B. Afr. i. 

 no. 778. 



Laniarius starki Scl. Ibis, 1901, p. 153. 



The name M. blanchoti Steph. does not apply to this species, 

 for the type of the former, which is tbe same as that o( ''La 

 Pie-grieche Blanchot " of Levaillant, was obtained by Blanchot 

 in Senegal and belongs to M. polionotus (Licht.). Mr. W. 

 L. Sclater has proposed to call it M. starki, in memory of 

 the late Dr. A. C. Stark, author of the first volume of the 

 ' Birds of South Africa." 



44. Crateropus TANOANjiCiE Rcichcn. J. f. O. 1886, 

 p. 115, pi. 3. fig. 1. 



Mambwe is the most southern range known for this rare and 

 apparently very local species. I believe that this is the first 

 specimen of it that has ever arrived in England. It is closely 

 allied to C. kirki, from which it differs chiefly in the great 

 amount of black on the head. 



46. Crateropus hartlaubi Bocage. 



The occurrence of this species at Karungwesi and Kikomba 

 greatly extends its known range. It is represented in the 

 British Museum by specimens from Benguela and the 

 Cunene River, and by one obtained by Dr. Bradshaw, 

 without any locality on the label of the specimen, which, 

 however, was probably procured in the country between 

 the Orange and Zambesi Rivers. 



52. CisTicoLA ERYTHROPS (Hartl.). 



This is the most southern range known to me for this
