 other notes, are always given. Interesting general remarks 

 are also introduced at the head of each family. In the

 Apalis aequaturialis, and (Jossypha caffra mawensis. Coloured 

 figures are given of Dendromus tceniohemus, D. neumanni, 

 Apalis porphyroJcema, A. griseiceps, and Linurgus kilimensis. 

 The last-named bird is a second species of a curious genus 

 of Finches, and is closely allied to L. olivaceiis of Cameroons. 

 It was found on Kilmanjaro at a height of 9000 feet. A map 

 is added to show Herr Neumaun^s route. The preface to 

 this part of the memoir contains some very interesting 

 remarks on the general characters of the faunas of the three 

 divisions of the country traversed, which are, shortly, 

 Southern Masailand with southern tendencies. Northern 

 Masailand with Somali-like forms, and the basin of Lake 

 Victoria with many well-marked West-African types — such 

 as Psittacns erithacus and Corythaola cristata.
