obtained in the Manenguba Mountains. 647 



The plate of this species in J. f. O. 1892 is exceedingly 

 poor, the shade of every colour in the figure being 

 incorrect. 



8. Barbatula leucolaima. 



Barbatula leucolaima Verr. Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1851, 

 p. 263 : West Africa. 



a. S ad. (No. 2). Ninong, Manenguba Mts. 3. v. 09. 



This species had already been obtained on Cameroon 

 Mountain. 



Tlie wing-measurement of tise bird from Ninong is 

 56 ram. 



B. leucolaima is a smaller species than B. I. mfumbiri 

 Ogilvie-Graut, and lacks the greenish wash on the under- 

 parts. 



y. Dendropicus lafresnayi.

 p. 533 : Africa. 



a-c. S ? ad. (Nos. 1-3). Ninong, Manenguba Mts. 

 3-12. vi. 09. 



I have already stated in my paper on the Birds of 

 Cameroon Mt. (Ibis, 1915, p. 490) that D. camerunensis 

 Sharpe seems to be a synonym of D. lafresnayi. Three 

 examples were obtained in the Manenguba Mts. and one, 

 already recorded, on Cameroon Mountain. 



10. Petrochelidon rufignla. 



Collie rufigula (Bocage) ; Fischer & Reichw. Journ. 

 fiir Orn. 1884, p. 53 : Lake Naivasha, Briiish East 

 ■ Africa. 



a. ? ad. (No. 1). Manenguba Mts. 29. v. 09. 



The type of this species came from Lake Naivasha, but it 

 extends its range right across Africa. The present is, how- 

 ever, the first record from Cameroon, as Dr. Reichenow dots 

 not include it in his exhaustive list of the birds which have 

 been procured there up to 1911 (Mitt. Zool. Mus. Berlin, 

 1911, pp. 239-258).
