This species inhabits the West African Coast from 

 Cameroon to Loaugo. It must be regarded as a subspecies 

 of B. flavicoUis.

As I have already mentioned (Ibis, 1915, p. 497), I con- 

 sider T. nigrilorum to be only a subspecies, probably of 

 T. lugubris Bodd., confined to the Cameroon highlands. 



The immature specimen (No. 1) has the upperparts a 

 shade darker throughout than the adult, and the primary- 

 coverts tipped with rufous. The breast is mottled and the 

 flanks spotted with brown and rufous, and the belly white.

These two specimens are particularly interesting, as up 

 to the present no examples of this subspecies had been 

 taken except on the Cameroon Peak. 



Moreover, they differ in small points from the series which 

 we now possess from Cameroon Mt. In the first place, 

 one of the birds has a wing-measurement of only 69 mm., 

 which is well within the measurements of typical S. salax; 

 the other specimen, however, has a wing of 74 mm. 

 A second small difference is that the chestnut breast-band 

 is paler in colour than in birds from Cameroon Peak, but 

 retains the character which separates S. s. pallidigula from 

 S. salax in being very wide. 



I have already written at some length concerning this 

 Chat in my report on the birds from Cameroon Mountain 

 {vide Ibis, 1915, pp. 498-500). 



Undoubtedly, birds from the Manenguba and Cameroon
