444 Mr. C. H. B. Grant on a Collection of 



description gives it as follows : " uropygio late aurantiaco" 

 ■= rump broadly orange. 



Although I have not been enabled to examine specimens 

 from Heugliu's type locality, Abyssinian and Somaliland 

 birds agree with his description, and I have therefore placed 

 them under his name. 



PoGONIULUS PUSILLUS AFFINIS. 



Barbaiula affinis Reichw. op. cit. 



A smaller race. Wing 60 mm. Streaks on back of head 

 whitish ; below, throat as in P. p. uropygialis ; breast and 

 flanks isabelline, fading to pale olive-green in centre of 

 abdomen and under tail-coverts. 



Range. German East Africa^ British East Africa, and 

 Manda Island. 



The name Barbatula minuta must go to the Senegal bird, 

 and until specimens are available from that locality for 

 comparison with north-eastern birds, it must stand for a 

 bird which apparently up to tlie present is unknown. 



The reason for this is that both Bonaparte's names of 

 B. minuta in the Consp. Av. vol. i. 1850, p. 144; Sennaar, 

 and in the Consp. Vol. Zyg. 1854, p. 12, are nomina nuda, 

 and therefore for the first description of B. minuta we must 

 go to Hartlaub, Orn. Westafr. 1857, p. 173 : Senegal. 



198. Pogoniulus chrysoconus centralis. Uganda Yellow- 

 fronted Barbet. 



Barbatula centralis Reichw. Orn. Monatsb. 1900, p. 40: 

 Njangubo in Ndussuma, west of Lake Albert. 



tt. ? ad. Kamchuru, 3200 ft. Feb. 11. 



Total length in flesh : 4f inches. Wing : 61 mm. 



In good clean dress. 



[Irides brown ; bill black ; legs and toes greyish black. 

 Several seen.] 



In naming this single specimen I have had to examine the 

 whole series in the British Museum collection, and through 

 the kindness of Mr. Rothschild and Dr. Hartert I have had 

 the loan of five typical specimens from Senegal. 



Eight forms are recognisable as follows : —
