The type of L. dybowskii was obtained by Dybovvski on 

 the upper Kemo River, which, as Shelley remarks, is almost 

 on lat. 5° S'., long. 25° E. 



It was next obtained on the Kemo River in 1905 by 

 Alexander, who described it as Cryptospiza sharpei, over- 

 looking the fact that it had already received a name and 

 that he had secured his bird in the actual type-locality of 

 L. dyboivskii Oust. Alexander next obtained a specimen 

 of this rare species in July 1906, which is labelled 

 " Camp IV. Alexander-Gosling Expedition,^' while he s^hot 

 one of the present specimens at Bafum Bum. 



The sexes are not alike, and I have therefore thought it 

 worth while to figure (Part iv. PI. VII. fig. 2) both the male 

 and the female. It wiil be seen that the female differs from 

 the male in being much greyer throughout ; moreover, tlie 

 spots on the breast and flanks in the female are whitish
