Birds from British East Africa and Uganda. 455 



The Mazeras specimen agrees in coloration very well with 

 the Amala River birds ; therefore a larger series may show 

 that C. c. cailliautii and C. c. nyansce will have to be 

 united. 



Reichenow in the Orn. Monatsb. 1896, p. 131, under the 

 description of Dendromus scripioricauda (type from Lamu in 

 the British Museum), has drawn attention to Chi'ysopicos cail- 

 liautii Malli. (Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1849, p. 540 : Africa) being 

 equal to Chrysopicos malherbel Cass. ; but for some unknown 

 reason he has not adopted this view in his Vog. Afrikas, 

 vol. ii. 190.2, p. 172. 



Malherbe's excellent description undoubtedly refers to 

 this bird and must be adopted for it ; and as only Africa is 

 designated as the type locality, I fix it on to the mainland 

 coastal form and designate the particular type locality as 

 Mombasa, thus leaving Cas>.in^s name available for the 

 Zanzibar bird, should it hereafter prove to be separable.
