In this fine Yellow-breasted Boubou the sexes are alike. 

 The bird has been obtained by collectors on several occa- 

 sions in Cameroon, notably on Cameroon Mountain, where 

 the majority of specimens were secured, and from Bamenda, 

 and the Genderu Mountains in the interior. 



[Common in the high forest. — B. A.]

This is an interesting extension of the range of this 

 species, which was hitherto recorded only from the country 

 surrounding the Ruwenzori Range. 



[Rare ; specimens 1, 2, were found above Miissarka, 

 specimen No. 3 in the forest below Miissarka. — B. A.]

A single example of this interesting Shrike was obtained 

 by Alexander on Cameroon Mountain. It was unfortunately 

 described by me in the Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' 

 Club as a new bird as I overlooked the fact that Reichenow 

 had already named it. His name therefore has priority over 

 mine, which becomes a synonym of D. a. grisescens.
