Birds of Cameroon Mountain. 485 



5. nuchale takes the place of S. ivoodfordi in West Africa. 



Sharpe described the type of S. nuchale out of a collec- 

 tion of birds from the Fantee Country, but does not give 

 any particulars of the specimen which first came into his 

 hands. 



[Found in the forest near Buea. — B. A.]

Mr. Claude Grant, in his paper in the present number of 

 the ' Ibis,' has monographed the races of Colius striatus. 



Dr. Reichenow [vide supra) described a Mouse-bird from 

 the actual locality in which Alexander obtained his speci- 

 mens, but this subspecies cannot be upheld. I agree with 

 Mr. C. Grant in uniting the birds from Cameroon jNIountain 

 with Colius striatus nigricoUis, which subspecies ranges 

 from Cameroon to Angola and eastwards to Niam Niam. 



[Found at Buea and up to Miissarka, where it is not 

 common. — B. A.] 



7. Hapaloderma vittatum camerTmense. 



Apaloderma vittatum camerunense Reichw. Vog. Afr. ii. 

 1902, p. 216: Cameroon. 



* There appear to be three places of this name -svhich can be spelt in 

 various ways, i. e., Malimba, Malimbe, or Malemba, etc. : 



1. At the mouth of the Sanaga River in Cameroon. 



2. On the Sankuro River in the Lualaba District of the Belgian 

 Congo. 



3. On the coast of Kabinda or Portuguese Congo, lying between 

 Gaboon and the mouth of the Congo River. 



The latter is almost certainly the place from which the type of 

 C. s. nigricoUis was obtained. A Mons. Perrin, of Bordeaux, collected 

 there in the early part of the 19th Century, and his birds were described 

 by Levaillant and Vieillot.
